The upcoming Critical Thinking Cafe video about the @crankyuncles game (coming Dec 15) will include an explanation of FLICC: the 5 techniques of science denial (fake experts, logical fallacies, impossible expectations, cherry picking, conspiracy theories) crankyuncle.com/game
FLICC is the backbone of the @crankyuncles game - players build up cranky points (on their way to becoming a fully fledged cranky uncle) by learning the techniques that Cranky Uncles use to deny science. 
As you get further into the game, you unlock other denial techniques in the FLICC taxonomy. Each time you learn a new denial technique, you unlock more cartoon examples of each fallacy.
To learn more about FLICC, I’ve posted a history of FLICC (first conceived by @MarkHoofnagle) as well as definitions & examples of each science denial technique at a constantly evolving resource: sks.to/flicc
For academics looking for a scholarly reference introducing & explaining FLICC, here is my book chapter Deconstructing Climate Science Denial from the upcoming Edward Elgar Research Handbook in Communicating Climate Change climatechangecommunication.org/wp-content/upl…
One last thing: the first Critical Thinking Cafe video, by @Reasondisabled, @davekinkead & myself, introduced our 2018 research on using critical thinking to deconstruct climate misinformation. Full video at - full paper at sks.to/criticalclimate
