What is the best way to deal with those preaching climate change denial or questions asked about the validity or debate of climate change?
With patience and maturity.
We seem to be getting a lot of questions like, "Is climate change real?," "What proof is there of climate change?", "How can we be sure these aren't natural variations?", and so on now that Socratic has launched the environmental science section. For this reason, I believe it would be a good idea to come up with some creative solutions for these kinds of questions.
To begin with, you can always mark a question as duplicate. A lot of these questions are essentially copies of one another.
You can also mark a question as inappropriate in extreme circumstances.
Having said that, I would like to remind everyone that the primary goal of Socratic is to teach; that is, to make concepts understandable, to facilitate learning, and to break concepts down into simpler parts so that learning can take place. We have all experienced the frustration of reading comments, answers, and questions where people are deliberately disseminating false information or asking how climate change can be true; however, it is important to avoid fighting fire with fire by responding clearly and without becoming personal.
Think about what the best evidence is that humans are causing and causing climate change. Then ask yourself, How can I explain these facts clearly? I would advise against listing ten pieces of evidence. I would also advise against just linking to other websites. Instead, choose a few key pieces of evidence and explain them yourself. You can teach using images, videos, graphs, links to other Socratic concepts, and your own words. Don't forget your fundamentals.
You joined Socratic, hopefully, to help others learn, but keep in mind that many people have simply not been taught enough or the concepts of climate change science have not been taught well. So please, try to be patient and explain these concepts in a way that makes climate change science more understandable and less intimidating.
There are situations where a person's religious beliefs and climate change disagree, and managing such a situation can be very challenging. It is important to be cautious and respectful of other people's beliefs while upholding the science supporting climate change.

When evaluating a one-sided limit, you need to be careful when a quantity is approaching zero since its sign is different depending on which way it is approaching zero from. Let us look at some examples.
