Clever!

Unfortunately, it looks like that twitter user no longer exists.

Aaauuurgh conflicted on this one.

Basically the climate change deniers seem to have several hundred standard factoids, all of which are false or dubious, which they constantly recirculate on their blogs. Their arguments consist of bombarding you with large numbers of them, all of which can only be rebutted with time. And even when you do, all that happens is a week later they just bombard you with the same ones, sometimes in a slightly different form.

So I love the idea in principle, but when it comes to firing out factoids without conscious thought, this kind of thing is just as easy for the other side to do, maybe even easier.

The AI_AGW user still seems to be there to me, when Twitter's actually up.

His first mistake was in trying to have an argument on Twitter.

It helps when you don't confuse an l for an I.

I got into my first (and I hope last) pissing contest on Twitter yesterday whilst watching the evolving election for Oregon governor. It turned out my way, and the lower part of me really wants to find some of those people and rub their noses in it. But that would be wrong.

This compendium of rebuttals to common climate change denial fallacies is also good. It's organized by topic and by level of complexity to make navigating it easy.
