There was a paper on ACPD by Hansen et. al. recently on what to do about CC, which hasn't made it yet to the ACP pages. I can't remember seeing much feedback, but it did read a bit like an informed op-ed, and it might have been taken home for revision... That's the best recent example I can think of where the process might be seen to be at work.
On the more general question of what to do about the snarkers (denialists and sceptics); there has to be a generic strategy which will pay dividends. I'm thinking about it. Any suggestions. How do you deal with the idiot at the back who just shouts 'liar' or 'fool', 'conspiracy' or 'rubbish'?
