Here's a potentially interesting new blog to follow. Denialism a "resouce" for countering denialists and denialism, which is defined as:
"the employment of rhetorical tactics to give the appearance of argument or legitimate debate, when in actuality there is none. These false arguments are used when one has few or no facts to support one's viewpoint against a scientific consensus or against overwhelming evidence to the contrary. They are effective in distracting from actual useful debate using emotionally appealing, but ultimately empty and illogical assertions."
Apparently six main areas of "denialism" are going to be the focus:
HIV/AIDS
Global Warming
Creationism/Intelligent Design
Holocaust
Vaccination
Animal Testing
