How to Talk to a Science Denier: Conversations with Flat Earthers, Climate Deniers, and Others Who Defy Reason

If someone is injecting horse paste to cure a virus, is there any chance of an honest conversation with them? As America continues to defund and de-prioritize education, we see an increase in flat earthers, anti-vaxxers, coronavirus truthers, and other conspiracy theories. When so many people are not just wrong, but certain in their ignorance, how can you convince them of basic facts? Is that battle even worth fighting?  Author Lee McIntyre believes so, and shows in How to Talk to a Science Denier that anyone can help our fellow citizens better understand science. A variety of useful tools and techniques are presented so that you can just maybe help save a life through science.
