It's a matter of scale. Climate change? Meh, even if that does have negative effects I'll already be gone by the time they start and besides, there's snow on the ground so the temperature can't possibly be increasing.

Now if only we could find a way to prove that the ebola outbreak was cause by climate change...
Because everyone know that the scientific community has been corrupted by the [insert scapegoat group of your choice here] since the dawn of time...
And don't forget, we all know people are stupid since when people are people...
