Global Warming/Climate Change or what ever name they are hiding under today, is a religion. You don't stop true believers with mere facts.
Facts are simply relabeled as hearsay. And they will still get mad that you don't fall to your knees and worship at their shrine.
Vicki says
Global Warming is not a hoax… it is, however, easier for countries who don't want to put their money into fixing it…. to quote popular conspiracy theories…

Russia has the highest oil reserves in the world. It has a government owned oil cartel. Russians paid the hackers who stole the e-mails from the East Anglia University.

From the comments I have seen on this site, I expect the true believers to go on promoting their climate change hysteria…regardless of the facts.
If the temperature at noon on Mount Everest is -100 degrees F and the temp at the equator in the Sahara desert is +120 degrees F at that same time what conclusions can you draw? Answer: none.
Scientists need to measure the output of energy from the sun and compare that to temperature change all over the planet to give a meaningful evaluation.
