Man-made climate change is real, and the most urgent, known threat to our civilization. Mountains of scientific evidence say as much, and I have never seen a convincing argument to the contrary. Not one. What makes me an authority? Nothing. I'm just an average Joe without an advanced degree (BS Comp. Sci.). However, here's what distinguishes me from denier trolls: I trust and understand scientific consensus. That's my big secret ;). G'head, trolls, try to prove me wrong. And good luck.

Bill Nye for Universal Overlord
I would only add one thing regarding the credentials issue raised early on in the video. You could have just evolved barely enough to grow a set of rudimentary limbs and crawled out of some bubbling, primordial ooze too soon to develop a neocortex, let alone pass a single technical course or earn a degree, skill, or expertise of any kind, then raised your drooling, dripping self to a swaying, semi-erect stance with your proto-knuckles dragging on the ground, declared to the world in halting caveman grunts, "SLIME SCHOOL NOT HAVE SCIENCE CLASS," and it would matter very little, as long as you trusted and listened to the analyses and explanations of people who do understand the issue. If you managed that much, despite your primitive state of intellectual progress, you would still exhibit more intelligence, common sense, and rational wherewithal than your average climate change denier, or, truly, even those "above average" ones with advanced degrees, who should know better, but unfortunately do not.
