For chatting with deniers, here are some good sites that some colleagues have recently pointed me towards: GRIST: How to Talk to a Climate Skeptic: Responses to the most common skeptical arguments on global warming | Series | Grist Yale communication: Home - Yale Program on Climate Change Communication www.climatechangecommunication.org . . . So I took the first link: Below is a complete listing of the articles in “How to Talk to a Climate Skeptic,” a series by Coby Beck containing responses to the most common skeptical arguments on global warming. There are four separate taxonomies; arguments are divided by: Stages of Denial, Scientific Topics, Types of Argument, and Levels of Sophistication.
