Re: What would you do to combat this thinking?

I agree that it is pointless to argue with a 10 year old. What you should have said is something like: " Why yes, there are some people who don't believe or understand the theory of Global Warming and in our society we welcome divergent views. So far research has pointed to a correlation between human activity and global warming, I guess we'll have to wait and see what the sciencetist discover in years to come." I'm sure there were teachers telling Columbus that the world was not flat and trying to get him to believe what they did. It is not our job to teach kids what to think only how to think. Give the kid some credit for standing up for what they think is right - and get on with teaching. Just wait till that child gets in 7th grade and the teaching of Evolution starts - count your blessings.
