It has to be said that this is a welcome development as climate science denial is rapidly becoming one of Australia's major industries. Queensland politics in particular is riddled with it.
Anyway, for those without the time, my basic course in combating client science denial is as follows:
1. Pull their head out of the sand.
2. Agree with everything they say.
3. When they finally contradict themselves, point it out.
4. Rinse, repeat until done.
Oh, and don't tell anyone you've actually done any scientific research or published papers. That'll just mark you out as being a nutjob to them.
