This article suggest that science education is not enough to persuade people to change their beliefs. It focus on the anti-vaxxers but the points it brings up are applicable to all science misconceptions and maybe even religion.

Quote:You might think that climate sceptics would be likely to be more ignorant of science than those who accept the consensus that humans are causing a global increase in temperatures. But you’d be wrong. The individuals with the highest degree of scientific literacy are not those most concerned about climate change, they are the group which is most divided over the issue.

If this is true, how should you go about changing someones mind?
