Well, because someone who says climate change isn't real is stupid. Those that claim otherwise have been sucked in by the half billion dollar climate science denial network that rich industrialists like the Koch family built to line their pockets.

That's money that is traceable. Most money is now dark money, funneled through shell companies. I mean, if things were on the up and up, why funnel your money through shell companies to hide where the money is coming from?

And it ain't just the Kochs.

But shills like Tim Ball are right. Right?
The stuff she is "spouting" is not alarmist, it is just good old fact. You know, like the stuff the denialists don't have on their side. Here's the actual article where this young woman got her information from.

Further support to her concerns. If the Thwaite Glacier in west Antarctica collapses, and there are every indication its collapse is inevitable, ocean levels will rise an astounding 11 feet!

There are parts of Antarctica that are gaining ice, but it does not come close to amount being lost, and certainly won't compensate for the loss of the Thwaite Glacier.

Serious question: is there anything that she could say about the dangers of climate change that would be regarded as too extreme and not be cheered? The science is "crystal clear" yeah, okay...

The science is crystal clear.
Yup, its called projection, and the fossil fuel industry is playing this game to a master's level. Claim that the other side is doing exactly what you are doing! Brilliant!
