Paperback. Condizione: new. Paperback. The planet is getting hot. What are politicians, world leaders and scientists doing about it? This fictional portrayal shows how politicians deny climate change. When the effects become too severe to ignore, world leaders may have to do something about it.

Paperback. Condizione: new. Paperback. Climate change is a daunting prospect for the earth and many people would like to avoid thinking about its consequences. Wouldn't it be great if someone had a way to avoid worrying about climate science? Well, someone has. Denial ideology is a set of beliefs about climate science that denies the principal findings. Using canards such as "the globe is cooling" and "climate change is entirely natural" enables denial ideologues to argue against acceptance of the findings of climate science. These canards are set beliefs based on ideology, not science. Organizations such as the Tea Party, Americans for Prosperity, the Cornwall Alliance and Heartland Institute promote these beliefs. Denial ideology infuses political judgments and enables politicians to avoid or delay unpleasant decisions. Business leaders recognize the repercussions of climate change and promote changes in energy infrastructure that can alleviate some the consequences, but their leadership does not transfer to the political world. Armed with information about denial ideology, the reader can refute many of the canards employed by denial ideologues. Understanding the information in this book can make a contribution towards a greater acceptance of climate science. This item is printed on demand.

Paperback. Condizione: new. Paperback. Denial ideologues have succeeded in swaying the public about climate change, instigating people to, for example, question whether scientists agree on human-caused global warming (they do). They have done so with ideology that incorporates pseudo-science statements such as "the globe is cooling," "extreme weather is not related to climate change," and "all climate change is natural." When we actually look at the facts about extreme weather we find many links to climate change, although any one storm may be caused by a number of factors. Sometimes denial ideologues will argue that poverty and disease are more important but there will be no feasible solutions for poverty when climate change overwhelms economic development. There are examples of extreme denial - climate change is a "scam," there is "eco-tyranny," and the UN is "totalitarian." These examples show the lengths to which denial ideology can be taken. Climate scientists and denial ideologues dislike each other, and the quarrel between them reveals how science and ideology are on different planes. There are some actions that scientists, and each of us can take to combat denial, particularly among politicians. This item is printed on demand.

Paperback. Condizione: new. Paperback. Denial of climate change has consequences. As we have seen during the past four years, denial ideology has created a culture of political malfeasance, as politicians use denial to try to delay needed action. While some such as President Barack Obama have pressed ahead with regulations to control carbon emissions, others have sought to stop the international community from taking action by reducing the role of the United States to a foot-dragger in negotiations. Paris heralded a turning point in international negotiations on climate change. With the adoption of the Paris Agreement, 194 nations committed to reducing greenhouse gas emissions. This book records the negotiations and events that led to the Paris agreement, and reveals the forces aligned against it. In the U.S., there is a notable denial movement that uses pseudoscience to deny the evidence of climate science. Politicians who do not favor climate action for whatever reason enlist this denial ideology. The "war on coal," the assertion that the globe is cooling, that climate science is a "hoax," and similar themes are interwoven in the denial ideology. The ideology feeds into opposition to the Paris Agreement, which could sabotage the planet. This item is printed on demand.
