Global warming.jpg This article is part of the Climate project of Spinwatch.

Corporate and state resistance to admitting that climate change is a serious threat has gone through several phases, and some of the organizations and people in the list have adapted in a similar fashion. The phases:

  • Climate Change denial
  • Climate change is not due to human activity
  • There is nothing we can do to forestall climate change and look at the bright side...

By now the first category has been mostly discredited -- the evidence is overwhelming. Most of the climate change denial today takes the form of the latter two categories.
