In a shocking and unprecedented turn of events, a team of world-renowned climate scientists has once again released a report confirming that climate change is, in fact, real. However, the discovery was immediately met with a tidal wave of highly credible counter-evidence from the world’s most prestigious source of knowledge: the internet comments section.
The latest findings, published by the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC), outline the devastating effects of rising global temperatures, increased natural disasters, and melting ice caps. Meanwhile, Facebook user “PatriotEagleGunDad420” confidently responded with, “lmao fake.”
Scientists Shocked by Advanced Counter-Arguments
Despite decades of research, thousands of peer-reviewed studies, and mountains of undeniable evidence, scientists were left completely unprepared for the sheer intellectual firepower displayed in the YouTube comments under a Joe Rogan clip.
One commenter, known only as “HotdogWarrior77”, dismantled decades of scientific research with the following airtight rebuttal:
“Bro, if the planet is getting hotter, how come it snowed last week? Checkmate, libtards.”
Dr. Emily Richardson, a leading climate scientist at MIT, admitted she was “completely stumped” after reading this.
“We thought we had accounted for all variables in our climate models, but we never considered the fact that it snowed in February,” Richardson confessed. “Truly, our entire field is in shambles.”
Experts vs. Internet Experts
In a public debate held on Twitter/X, scientists struggled to keep up with a series of complex counterpoints from users whose qualifications included “Did My Own Research” and “Just Asking Questions.”
One particularly devastating argument came from a man with an anime profile picture, who posted:
“Follow the $$$! If climate change is real, then why are scientists getting PAID for their work? Ever think about that?!”
Richardson was forced to admit defeat. “He got us there,” she sighed, flipping her research notes into the nearest recycling bin. “It turns out that receiving funding for research is actually suspicious. We should have just done it for exposure, like real patriots.”
Alternative Theories Gain Traction
As the scientific community reeled, alternative explanations for climate change flooded the internet, ranging from “It’s Just the Sun, Bro” to “The Government is Controlling the Weather to Sell More Umbrellas”.
One YouTube commenter suggested that volcanoes, not humans, are responsible for all carbon emissions, citing the highly regarded academic source: his uncle’s Facebook post. Another commenter argued that “God controls the weather, and He’s just mad right now“, citing the theological text A Meme They Saw Once.
What’s Next?
Despite overwhelming evidence and the continued warnings from 99.9% of climate scientists, the debate appears far from settled. The internet’s top minds remain committed to their mission of disproving scientific consensus with JPEGs of poorly formatted text.
Meanwhile, as wildfires, hurricanes, and record heatwaves rage on, the comment sections remain vigilant, ensuring that no amount of science will go unchallenged.
At press time, NASA scientists had announced a new study proving that Earth is, indeed, round—only to be met with 75,000 angry replies saying, “DO YOUR OWN RESEARCH.”
