Climate Change Denial EnvironmentSources.com Topic Index Climate Cover-Up The Crusade to Deny Global Warming Resource Type: Book Published: 2009 Tracking the global warming denial movement from its inception, public relations advisor James Hoggan (working with journalist Richard Littlemore), reveals the details of those early plans and then tracks their execution, naming names and exposing tactics in what has become a full-blown attack on the integrity of the public conversation. The Climate Denial Industry Is Out To Dupe The Public. And It's Working Resource Type: Article/Report/Letter Published: 2009 The climate denial industry consists of people who are paid to say that man-made global warming isn't happening. Desmogblog.com Resource Type: Internet WWW site Clearing the PR pollution that clouds climate science. A source for accurate, fact based information regarding Global Warming misinformation campaigns. An overwhelming majority of the world's climate scientists agree that the globe is warming - the world's climate is changing - and that the indiscriminate burning of fossil fuels is to blame. We know that the risks are incalculable and, increasingly, we understand that the solutions are affordable. Unfortunately, a well-funded and highly organized public relations campaign is poisoning the climate change debate. Using tricks and stunts that unsavory PR firms invented for the tobacco lobby, energy-industry contrarians are trying to confuse the public, to forestall individual and political actions that might cut into exorbitant coal, oil and gas industry profits. DeSmogBlog is here to cry foul - to shine the light on techniques and tactics that reflect badly on the PR industry and are, ultimately, bad for the planet. Gates of Delusion: Media Distortions and REAL Climate Scandals Resource Type: Article/Report/Letter Published: 2010 Climate-related storms in a teacup have been appearing in the corporate media almost on a daily basis. This nonsense is distracting attention from a mountain of evidence that human-induced climate change is accelerating and poses a deadly threat to civilisation. Jared Diamond, Greenwasher Shilling for Chevron Resource Type: Article/Report/Letter Published: 2005 Since Jared Diamond and the economists all believe in the inviolability of the capitalist system, there is a certain cognitive dissonance at work in their writings. They harp on the symptoms, but stop short at identifying the root cause. It is what psychologists call denial. The Manufactured Doubt Industry And The Hacked Email Controversy Resource Type: Article/Report/Letter Published: 2009 The fossil fuel industry has been working for years to create a smokescreen of doubt to obscure the facts of global warming. Rampaging Climate Deniers' Losing Battle Resource Type: Article/Report/Letter Published: 2009 Because of the flimsy comprehension of science and evolution of most writers in the mass media, those who venture to write about evolution feel constrained to present "alternative" views. But "alternative" views are not necessarily credible or true. The cliimate change deniers' arguments are no less articles of faith than those of the creationists. In the case of the former, the faith is not in a god but in the free market and capitalism. Almost without exception, those who are in staunch denial are those connected to, involved in or supportive of the traditional capitalist model of economic growth, and by implication opposed to anything that might constrain this model. Seven Answers To Climate Contrarian Nonsense Resource Type: Article/Report/Letter Published: 2009 Within the community of scientists and others concerned about anthropogenic climate change, those deny climate change are commonly referred to as contrarians, naysayers and denialists. Not everyone who questions climate change science fits that description, of course — some people are genuinely unaware of the facts or honestly disagree about their interpretation. What distinguishes the true naysayers is an unwavering dedication to denying the need for action on the problem, often with weak and long-disproved arguments about supposed weaknesses in the science behind global warming.
