The trouble with videos is you can just... choose not to include stuff that obviously refutes your argument.

The reality is that global warming is definitely happening, and also the Earth is definitely not flat. But it's pretty easy to make a super convincing argument that the Earth is flat - you just don't mention any of the math behind why the Earth is round and then you can have a 5 hour long video filled to the brim with evidence the Earth is flat.

And it's not even lying. We're not saying anything that's not true. We're just choosing to omit data and evidence that proves us wrong. We can even include fake data and evidence, if we want, and refute that - ie build a strawman.

But surely that holds true for any evidence? Much of the video is showing how (and why) the government-funded evidence for global warming is wrong.
