99 One-Liners Rebutting Denier Talking Points

99 One-Liners -With Links To The Full Climate Science- here.

 

Is the title of a recent blogpost I skimmed through. As the author writes, "Those arguments have been repeated so many times /.../ that almost everyone has heard them — and that means you'll have to deal with them in almost any setting, from a public talk to a dinner party."

 

And it's true. We all get into those situations and the problem is, unless it is your specific field of research that you've majored in (or really dug into), one may run out of things to say. And yet you know what the other party is saying is pretty much junk science and a far-fetched argument. But what to do?

 

Apparently, there's a guy who's been collecting one-liners and adapting them through the years, to make them more succint and one-liner-y. His name? John Cook.

 

One of the great aspects this post points to is that you may run out of wind ... and thus, misinform easily. So, it suggests to refer the other party to the pages and sources with literature. (Though not sure how that's going to work... the Other Party being generally stuck in their own frame of mind, as well as you being stuck in yours. Hm...)
