Friday, December 5 - GRIST's primer "How to Talk to a Climate Skeptic"

People keen on funding climate change initiatives often come up against people who still "don't get it". Grist (GristMill.Grist.org) is an organization based in Seattle. They have a good primer on how to have a conversation with a climate skeptic. "We exist to tell the untold stories, spotlight trends before they become trendy, and engage the apathetic. We're fiercely independent in our coverage; we throw brickbats when they're needed and bestow kudos when they're warranted."

"HOW TO TALK TO A CLIMATE SKEPTIC", a series by Coby Beck, is neatly broken down into categories such as:

• Stages of Denial,
• Scientific Topics,
• Types of Argument, and
• Levels of Sophistication
