Basically every debate I have with a nowadays:

Republican: *makes outlandish, baseless claim*
Me: *explains how the claim is inaccurate using evidence*
Republican: *inserts whataboutism*
Me: *explains the whataboutism with more evidence*
Republican: *moves goalposts*
Me: *drills another ball of evidence through the uprights*
Republican: *ends conversation with a thought terminating cliche*

A weapon of environmental destruction apologists is to scan for hypocrisy. This is logically fallacious. Showing that someone acts inconsistently with their eco values or demands neither renders their facts invalid nor excuses anyone adding to their poor behaviour.
