Conversation at work today

The two guys sitting in front of me were debating global warming. One was arguing that global warming is impossible to disprove. The other disagreed.

They went back and forth for a while, until I interjected and said, "Listen, you guys are wasting your breath because there is a simple way to find out whether global warming is actually happening."

That got their attention. They stopped debating and looked back at me as I continued, "Even scientists are wasting time and resources by doing research on climate change when there is such a simple way to figure out whether it is real."

That got the attention of a couple of more people sitting by us. All eyes turned to me, and then one of the guys asked, "How?"

I paused for a second and then gave them the answer that should already be completely obvious to everyone, "Just ask the Pope."
