Climate Deniers What Causes Doubt

Climate denial is a readily used concept often referring to a public debate discourse that challenges the views of mainstream climate scientists and advocates of environmental policy. Climate deniers fuel an economic and political campaign structured to undermine the public trust in climate science functions as a mechanism for doubt and manufactured uncertainty. In eleven chapters this book identifies and profiles the potential risks and solutions to the current state of climate change literacy and what causes doubt and distrust among climate change deniers. In particular this book looks at the internal and external influences on one's own climate beliefs and how something that is close to a scientific certainty faces so much opposition. This book looks to provide new perspectives and ways to view literature surrounding climate change denial and how we can use hope to build a better future.
