An inadvertent companion piece to Suzoz’ earlier find from New ScientistA guide to the Perplexed on Climate Change , from Gristmill comes How to Talk to a Global Warming Skeptic.

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.

Sweet.

Via Ezra Klein. Amanda Marcotte feels the term “skeptic” is misused when talking about a cult of denialism.

There are some of us that actually do a little research and not just listen to washed up politicians. Any 15 year old can do it.
