Handling the climate deniers (WFSJ)

It was one of those bombshells that sucks the conversation from the room.
“But now new studies say that climate change is part of a natural phenomenon,” a financial journalist hammered out in an email to me recently. There was a hint of a question mark at the end of the statement.
“Oh? Um… could you point me to the report you’re referring to, please?” I shot back, curious.
Sure enough, the source of this information was a column written in the financial magazine FinWeek by a retired newspaperman with decades of journalism under his belt. But he’d been reeled in by one of those dissident polemics about how climate change isn’t caused by humans (in this case, Ian Plimer’s book Heaven and Earth).
