Humans have always used denial. When we are afraid, guilty,
confused, or when something interferes with our self-image, we tend
to deny it. Yet denial is a delusion. When it impacts on the health
of oneself, or society, or the world it becomes a pathology.
Climate change denial is such a case. Paradoxically, as the climate
science has become more certain, denial about the issue has
increased. The paradox lies in the denial. There is a denial
industry funded by the fossil fuel companies that literally denies
the science, and seeks to confuse the public. There is denial
within governments, where spin-doctors use 'weasel words' to
pretend they are taking action. However there is also denial within
most of us, the citizenry. We let denial prosper and we resist the
science.
Climate Change Denial explains the social science behind denial.
It contains a detailed examination of the principal climate change
denial arguments, from attacks on the integrity of scientists, to
impossible expectations of proof and certainty to the cherry
picking of data. Climate change can be solved but only when we
cease to deny that it exists. This book shows how we can break
through denial, accept reality, and thus solve the climate crisis.
It will engage scientists, university students, climate change
activists as well as the general public seeking to roll back denial
and act.
