Serious question, how do you even start talking about climate action with someone who thinks it's all a hoax?
Ran into my neighbor Dave at the gas station last Tuesday and he spent 10 minutes ranting about how solar panels are a scam before I could even get a word in, has anyone else had luck getting through to someone like that without just walking away?

Man, the whole "solar panels are a scam" thing hits close to home. My uncle Bill went on a similar rant at Thanksgiving, so I know the struggle. What finally worked for me was just asking him straight up, "Okay, what SPECIFIC scam do you think is going on?" Like, asking one small question about a single detail. It got him to stop yelling and actually name a real concern, which then let me pull up a quick YouTube video on my phone showing someone's actual lower electric bill. You don't gotta win the WHOLE argument in one go. Just find that one tiny crack in their wall of certainty and poke at it.
