Interesting that @MichaelEMann warns of "backfire effect" in combating #climatechange mis- and disinformation in his #sciwri23 talk.
The literature on this has changed a lot in recent years and if the effect is real at all it is likely much smaller than thought. Important to communicate this.
For those interested, this is a good recent paper on what may be the issue in research on the "backfire effect" and why scientists have struggled to replicate it https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S2211368120300516
