Revision as of 16:28, 6 September 2007
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 haves similarly adapted. 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.
