A four-panel SMBC comic. Panel 1: a green reptilian scientist in a lab coat stands at a podium next to a poster showing an asteroid hitting Earth, saying "...so we believe a large enough asteroid strike would rapidly cool the Earth." Panel 2: a close-up as the scientist points to the diagram, saying "This is an outcome we could avoid by-" before being interrupted by a shouted "Hoax! It's all a hoax!" Panel 3: the scientist looks fed up, thinking "Oh Christ, I hate these guys," while a dark shape of a heckler looms at the edge; the heckler yells "Do your own research, people!" Panel 4: a wide shot reveals the heckler is a giant red creature towering over the room, repeating "Do your own research, people!", with a tiny fluffy dog sitting in the audience. The joke: the science-denying hecklers are absurdly oversized and disruptive. Votey: a close-up of the little dog, who declares, "Scientists are wrong sometimes which is why I only believe memes!"
