Shamelessly stealing this post from reddit because it's a really cool story:
Context - László Polgár, a Hungarian educational psychologist, conducted an experiment to prove that exceptional talent is developed through intensive education and training, not innate ability. He believed in his theory so strongly that he sought a partner willing to raise children under this philosophy. Polgár wrote to Klára, a Ukrainian teacher, explaining his ideas and proposing marriage as a collaboration in this experiment. Intrigued, Klára agreed, and they married, later raising their three daughters—Susan, Sofia, and Judit—as chess prodigies. From a young age, the girls were immersed in chess and rigorous intellectual training The experiment was a success: all three became world-class chess players, with Judit Polgár widely regarded as the greatest female chess player in history.

Ok what tf has climate change to do with this argument. Even if I were a denier (which I'm not) that is a ridiculous ad hominem.
What? That was a behavioural analogy to show that a single study shouldnt be given too much weight in comparison to a large number of studies with differing results.
I didnt call you a climate change denier, i said your response was as shallow as the arguments that those types of people use.
Thats the literal opposite of an ad hominem, as it calls out your bad argument and not you as a person.
