You could mention data about the climate thousand of years ago gleaned from ice core samples, perhaps.
You could also show this classic XKCD graphic
Hockey stick of death
My 70 year old dad is also in denial. Keeps saying it's summer and always hot, but complaining about it lasting for 3-4 weeks this far and we're only mid-July. Then said a week long below average streak would would help because that's how you get average temps.
They live in NJ and I moved to Miami back in October, it's been practically the same temperature in both places (for those not in the US, Miami is subtropical, New Jersey is 1300 miles north and has a coastal climate) for about the past month. The only difference is that it's about 10-20% more humid down here in Florida. The "Real Feel" is always within a few degrees though. For a few days here and there it's been hotter in NJ.
Only to have them 'question' the data without elaborating on why it's bad data.
I work with a Trumper who also denies climate change, he outright declined my offer to put together evidence for him regarding climate change. These people are too old to give a shit, unfortunately.
"My mind is made up. I don't need evidence."
Ahh yes. The battle cry of the lazy and ignorant.
I've brought that up, he just says the science of it isn't entirely accurate 🤦♂️
