Debating Denialists

Science educators always lose public debates with climate-science deniers and creationists, and they lose them even before they begin in conceding the topics debatable on such terms. Further, public debates on science with science denialists are best understood as circuses selling peanuts to the rubes, and the simple truth is that few if any minds are changed or informed in such contexts.
