I'd flip that to you as well - there's literally nothing that doomers can hear that will change their mind that maybe we're not heading for a catastrophe. Of course, it's a real problem, but there are real solutions that are being worked on and rolled out.

- There's more ice in Antarctica now than there was 40 years ago [1]

- Antarctic ice has increased by 1% per decade since the satellite era (1979) [2]

- New record earliest winter in Antarctica was last year [3]

- Coldest 6 months in Antarctica ever recorded was 3 years ago [4]

- If you expand your reference window before 1979, Antarctic ice has been through far wilder swings [5]

But maybe I'm living in a fantasy world where hard data and scientific observations don't matter - please do explain the mechanism that I'm missing.
