1. Ad Hominem Fallacy: This fallacy occurs when someone attacks the person making an argument rather than addressing the argument itself. For example, if someone says "You shouldn't listen to John's opinion on climate change because he's not a scientist," they are committing an ad hominem fallacy.
2. Appeal to Authority Fallacy: This fallacy occurs when someone argues that a claim is true simply because an authority figure or expert says it is. For example, if someone says "Climate change isn't real because my favorite celebrity said so," they are committing an appeal to authority fallacy.
3. False Dilemma Fallacy: This fallacy occurs when someone presents a situation as having only two possible outcomes or options, when in reality there are more. For example, if someone says "You're either with us or against us," they are presenting a false dilemma fallacy.
4. Slippery Slope Fallacy: This fallacy occurs when someone argues that a small action will inevitably lead to a series of increasingly dire consequences. For example, if someone says "If we allow same-sex marriage, next people will want to marry animals," they are committing a slippery slope fallacy.
