As wildfires rip across the western United States and sea levels
rise along coastal cities from Louisiana to Alaska, some people
nevertheless reject the mainstream scientific consensus on
anthropogenic climate change. What leads people to doubt or
outright denial? What leads skeptics to change their minds? Drawing
from a rich collection of interviews and surveys with
self-identified climate change skeptics (and some former ones),
sociologists Kristin Haltinner and Dilshani Sarathchandra delve
into the underlying dynamics of climate skepticism in the United
States. In probing how ideas about science, religion, politics, and
media affect perceptions of climate change, they find a far greater
diversity of attitudes and beliefs than one might
expect—including some pro-environmental views. With this nuanced
understanding of climate change skepticism, Inside the World of
Climate Change Skeptics offers much-needed insights on improving
communication in ways that can move us toward a better future while
advancing environmental policies with widespread political support.
