It's like religion people who believe the Earth is only 6000 years old or something. They know about Darwin's Theory of Evolution.... but I'm like, dude, that's done by walking around and measuring plants, animals, insects. We have microscopes and DNA now. We know the DNA difference between two kinds of birds. We know how a single cell from female and male come together and follow DNA patterns to create the whole animal, even humans! They just won't accept that DNA was after Darwin's time and proved he was right!

Cut down all the trees and put roads and buildings everywhere since year 1800. Start burning whale oil and then petrol oil as fast as you can. Make everything powered by oil. it's burning, like burning wood at a campfire. Do you see the smoke and gas? Do you think a car is not burning petrol? A power plant isn't burning petrol? Fire! It burns carbon products, wood, uses oxygen. It makes carbon dioxide. "A typical passenger vehicle emits about 4.6 metric tons of CO2 per year."

Here, can't we take something like a fish tank and put a burning candle in it, and show you the smoke and gas it creates.

Oh, they are dumping pollution into the river and you think the town downstream isn't getting poisoned? Who is the town upstream from where you live.

But the advertising and marketing of the oil companies 'inform them'. You can't convince them how fire works, making smoke and gas. And start counting up how many fires you see driving around on the roads of the world, and how many power plants are burning petrol, etc.

Advertising and marketing can convince them of anything, the stuff they believe just because snazzy presentation.
