can do? Apparently there's a Watts Up With That tour of Australia happening right now. The tour consists of talks given by Anthony Watts, Bob Carter, and David Archibald. Bob Carter sums up their arguments thusly:
1) Temp record is unreliable, 2) CO2 effect is saturated, 3) CO2 is plant food, and 4) It’s the sun.

All of these arguments are long-debunked, with the exception of 'plant food', which is the basis of a non sequitur.
Now granted, none of these presenters are climate scientists. But obviously they think highly enough of themselves to go on tour (although apparently their audiences have been extremely sparse). But are these long-debunked arguments and logical fallacies really the best the denial movement can do?
