It seems if you make any sort of comment about climate change these days you're leaving yourself open to attacks from Twitter trolls.
Luckily for us, most of these trolls don't bother checking who they're tweeting at before pushing their agenda which results in hilarious exchanges like the one below.
Katie Mack AKA @AstroKatie shared her fears with regards to climate change on Twitter.
Honestly climate change scares the heck out of me and it makes me so sad to see what we're losing because of it.

One Twitter troll saw her as the perfect target on which to push his 'global warming is a scam' theory.
@AstroKatie Maybe you should learn some actual SCIENCE then, and stop listening to the criminals pushing the #GlobalWarming SCAM!

It's pretty obvious poor Gary didn't bother to check Katie's bio. We're sure if he had he would have saved himself the embarrassment that followed her reply.
@gary4205 I dunno, man, I already went and got a PhD in astrophysics. Seems like more than that would be overkill at this point.

That's right. Katie Mack also goes by the name Dr Catherine J Mack of the University of Melbourne. So she probably knows more about 'actual science' than the rest of Twitter combined.
As writer @finkowska put it: "there is not enough cold in the heat death of the universe to treat this magnificent burn.”
