deltoid:</p>

Reading and listening to global warming sceptics can get a little

tedious because they keep trotting out the same discredited arguments.

So I’ve come up with a little game you can play to make it more

interesting. I call it Global Warming Sceptic Bingo! Just tick the

box when they use the argument next to it. Get four in a row and you

win! A good talk to try it on is Bob Carter’s (At 37:00 on the 11

April 2005 Counterpoint <a br="">href="http://www.abc.net.au/rn/talks/counterpoint/default.htm">here.)</a>
