Climate Denial: The man behind 'Sceptical Science', John Cook, helps us better understand climate denial

from Climate Conversations · host Robert McLean

John Cook (pictured) created 'Sceptical Science' and through the story "Shocked By Climate Change Denial? How To Deal With Misinformation" gives us a better grasp of what climate denial is and what form it takes. People from around the world talk frequently about net-zero, but eight authors have combined their skills to encourage us to think seriously about what happens once we have achieved net-zero, do we set about cooling the planet and to what extent? - "Beyond net-zero: we should, if we can, cool the planet back to pre-industrial levels". Other climate links today are: "Saul wrote the book on all-electric homes, but his gas company is putting up a fight"; "Wind farm in Bass Strait ‘can be ready in six years’"; "Climate change is going to make infectious diseases far, far worse"; "Will Biden Ever Use All His Power to Fight Climate Change?"; "How to Fall Out of Love With Your Lawn"; "Rural ecovillage harvests timber from nearby forest, with houses made from recycled materials". Enjoy "Music for a Warming World".
