The people who see faces and stuff in the cloud are hilarious. It's called pareidolia, it's not a religious experience, it's just your human brain that likes to see patterns and faces especially.
The CO2 deniers wondering why we should reduce CO2 emissions when there will just be volcanoes ... it's like wondering why you shouldn't take a dump on the floor after someone's dog already did. And the people who say that NOW they can see why the volcano was such a big deal have the same problem. No sense of scale means your visualizations fail. And if a failed concept of proportion drives your judgement, it's easy to see how you can be so absolutely and unequivocally wrong.
I want to just shrug and ignore stupid people, and wait for them to be proven wrong. I won't live long enough to see how badly they ruin the world after all.
