The takedown of these climate change sceptics just gets better and better

It’s not just most of Britain that’s been sweltering over the last couple of days as you’ll no doubt know, with record temperatures all over the globe.

The unprecedented heat prompted renewed concern over climate change but not everyone was buying it.

Match of the Day presenter Gary Lineker was among those tweeting about it, and it prompted no end of people who simply weren’t buying it.

And this particular takedown that followed just gets better and better.

Peep, peep, peeeeeep!

And just four of the things people said in response after it went viral on Reddit.
