Addincknt: RE Janet Daly's column;
This is a post I made on Friday saying much the same thing.

One of the main sticking points of convincing sceptics that the climate change is a thing is the condescending jeering and belittling of the very people that the people who are on board are trying to win over.
Maybe they should try a carrot instead of a stick.<
The reply I got from AgArCu :
"Common misconception, jezzoo, but that isn't what the behaviour science says. It's often used as a get out of jail card by the nut jobs, but research says it's akin to saying we should be nice to people who sexually harass women to encourage them to stop. It doesn't work. Nudge works in this case, as in most cases, but 'carrot' just allows the deniers room to spread their incorrect and damaging message. And now you know 😊 "
I'm pleased to see I'm not the only one who thinks that way.
