Climate Denial in American Politics is a detailed examination of
the rise within American politics of climate denialism, the counter
movement which challenges the accepted science of climate change.
Organized by the administration of an American president from
Roosevelt to Biden, this book provides an unprecedented account of
climate denial within both the White House and Congress, and the
‘climate brawls’ that followed: a rebuke to discredit the
climate denier, their propaganda, and their sources. Gerald Kutney
examines the evolution of American political thought on climate
change and provides a comprehensive survey and analysis of the
sordid history of the propaganda which has promoted climate denial
and corrupted politicians in America. He uses direct quotes from
primary sources, such as government records, to show the extreme
and pervasive nature of anti-science opinions made by political
climate deniers and limit any misinterpretation that might result
from paraphrasing. Weaving the account of climate denialism in
American politics with anecdotes from Kutney’s own decade-long
experience of challenging climate deniers on Twitter using
#ClimateBrawl, this book provides a valuable insight into the world
of climate obstruction. Climate Denial in American Politics will be
of great interest to students and scholars of climate change,
environmental politics and American politics more broadly.
