    I agree that it is important to not participate in false balance discussions. If more took this stance, then the media would have to stop running them.https://twitter.com/GreenRupertRead/status/1024377781801689089 …

    BBC Radio wanted to have me on today to debate a climate-denier in the context of the drought/heatwave. I said NO. I told them it was a disgrace that they still give climate-deniers airtime at a time like this. I won’t be part of such charades any longer. Please RT if you agree.

        Isn’t there also a risk that our media becomes totally dominated by cranks and sensible voices are kept off air completely?

        I’ve never understood that logic from the media. They don’t then turn to someone to ask them about the pro-child slavery argument following each story!

        Imagine two homeopaths debating on BBC Radio Today prog whether a medicine with 0% active ingredients and the same solution diluted to 10% of that (i.e. 0/10 % active ingredients) is more effective. And the Today presenter concluding that the debate continues :-)

        If everyone said no, wouldn’t that leave the only voices being heard as the climate deniers?

        Surely it is better to debate with one's opponents than to try to silence them and crush debate? Disagree profoundly with your stance. Agree with your view of climate change but want to hear the other view too

        We should not be debating facts with people who are wrong. This is not a debate.

        Replying to @SLSingh @robinince

        Climate change is happening, debating is one of he strongest ways of winning the public, a lot of people don’t believe in it, and in a democracy everyone should get to air their opinions. if he is an expert he should be able to inform and discredit the denier by the facts

        Sadly being right is only a small advantage in a debate, being good at rhetoric is far more important; a desire to be honest and accurate can be made into a disadvantage. There are good reasons why science uses journals rather than debates.
