Abstract
Scientific consensus on the negative impacts of invasive alien species is increasingly being challenged. Whereas informed scepticism of impacts is important, science denialism is counter-productive. Such denialism arises when uncertainty on impacts is confounded by differences in values. Debates on impacts must take in to account both the evidence presented and motivations.
