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.

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.
