I think we are of one mind on this. I'm not for abiding flawed arguments, I'm for trying to work out what is going on in the minds of the other side and how we can either convince them that they are wrong or find more effective ways of working around them.

Unfortunately it is rather light on for insights about cliamte change denial (which appears to be a very understudied phenomenon in relation to how important it is).
