Information on global issues such as climate change should be standardized. These information campaigns should include the debunking of myths so that people will not accept everything as scientific truth. People should also be afforded the opportunity to be critical and decisive. It’s the Tower Of Babel once again.

That’s a great point. There are places with information refuting claims of global warming skeptics. However, I think it is hard to give a set of standardized, one-size-fits-all answers because skeptics can be slippery, easily moving from one irrelevant red herring to another in attempts to place political agendas ahead of scientific conclusions. There are legitimate scientific debates to have on some issues, also. Anyway, here are some sites that address sensible vs. nonsensical arguments, and ”how to talk to a Global Warming skeptic” from Gristmill:
