Johnson's Corollary to Godwin's Law states that as a discussion on the Internet grows longer, the likelihood of a person using a meme in place of a rational argument increases. That means that as more people talk on the Internet for a longer time, it becomes more and more likely that someone will use a meme instead of a rational argument to make their point. Johnson's Corollary further states that the use of a meme signals that the one introducing the meme has lost the argument.
Using a meme to "disprove" global warming is pure Johnson's Corollary.
