"Junk science is junk science, no matter if it comes from a politician or a preacher." Q1. What if it comes from a scientist? "Climate change is real" Well duh! We're in in ice age - that's not normal. "It's no coincidence that every single year of the 40-or-so years that I've been alive has been one of the hottest top 20 on record." You can fit 40 years in the hottest top 20 years? Well done, you! It's no coincidence that the planet warmed while you were alive? Are you suggesting you control the planet? Ok. I should like to see your math on that. Yes, it's no coincidence that warm years happen in warm periods - the last 9,000 years has been a relatively warm period - an inter-glacial. The the 40 or 60,000 years before were a relatively cold period - a glacial period. We've had 10 of them in the last million years!

Speaking of bad scientists and coincidences ... A Prof of pediatrics said in court testimony "to lose one child (to SIDS) is tragic, to lose two is murder." He might as well have said "it's no coincidence that two children die if their mother is a murderer." But it's also no coincidence if two related children die of the same inherited condition, is it? So his probability calculations were wildly wrong (bad science) and caused a miscarriage of justice.

Since you're boiling water, I have an experiment suggestion (because you'll have some insights on it) - it the engine of putt-putt boats. A narrow glass tube (5mm), plugged at the top, water-filled, and lower end in an open reservoir of water. Lean the tube and heat gently (tea light - 30Watts) in the middle. it produces rapidly expanding, large bubbles. Simples.
