Who can you believe

If you are having doubts about climate change here is a trick you might like to do.

Take three bowls – sufficiently large to immerse your hands. Fill the one on the left with the hottest water your hand can bear. Fill the one on the right with cold water and ice. Fill the middle bowl with warm water.

Put your left hand in the left hot bowl and your right hand in the right freezing bowl. Hold them there so they can get use to the temperature. After, say, twenty seconds move both hands into the middle warm bowl at the same time. Your left hand will tell you immediately that the middle bowl is freezing. Your right hand will tell you instantly that the middle bowl is boiling. It is at that point that your brain will explode.

If you cannot trust your hands who can you trust?
