Imagine living with a climate denier. Or worse: living with someone who uses the same tortured logic for everything. Australian comedy group Collective Noun has released a new video featuring two roommates, one mimicking arguments used by deniers who claim climate change isn't really happening.

In one exchange, a man asks his roommate to pay his rent, which is due at the beginning of the month.

"Where's the consensus on that?" he asks.

The denier insists he doesn't see a "shred of evidence" that he owes any money, and derides the rental agreement as a document "manipulated by NASA."

Ahhh, the Aussies....
