We're going to be the first species to go extinct due to stupidity. A dude the other day told me that the guy who invented the weather channel says that global warming is due to Earth's orbit not being a perfect circle. I don't know how to combat that level of stupid.
I believe he’s talking about the axial tilt, the great procession which occurs every 25,000ish years.
You'd think science would have already figured that out right? Oh yeah, they did. A century ago.

Don't TLDR, actually read it, but it basically says, "we've done the math, it's definitely us."
No, humans figured out the procession of the equinox thousands of years ago.
