NPR interviews the CEO of the Center for Countering Digital Hate about the new strategies being used online by those with interests in denying anthropogenic global warming. Audio (~12min) + transcript.
“The three major families in the new denial are: that climate solutions won’t work, that the impacts of global warming are beneficial or harmless, or that the climate science and the climate movement are unreliable. Because let’s be absolutely frank about this: This has never been a debate about the science. This has been a debate between scientists and those who want to stop action being taken on climate change because that would destroy the oil and gas industry.”
