Republicans wanted us to stop talking about "global warming" and start talking about the vaguer "climate change." Yet, they also want to claim that a thermometer can disprove climate change? No.

Maybe a thermometer, if interpreted properly, can disprove global warming, which y'all didn't want to talk about. But it can't disprove climate change. You don't disprove increases in hurricanes, tsunamis, etc. with a thermometer.

As far as a thermometer, though, asshat, compare a photo of mountaintops anywhere in the world from the 1920s with a photo of the same mountaintops in the same season today. It shouldn't take a rocket scientist. Even you should be able to figure it out.
