What are you supposed to say to someone who believes climate change is real but won't accept that human activity contributes to it? (slrpnk.net)

I had that happen with some random guy over the Iran war where I just made an offhand comment about how bad the US was doing and he starts going on a tirade about how America is #1 and yadda yadda. Anyway I kinda laughed and said I wanted to move on and was uncomfortable. A couple days later I saw him again and he said, "I looked it up and you were right about that one thing you mentioned but I'm still right about most of it." Like sure buddy.
