Climate Change Denial: Heads in the Sand
Climate Change Denial:
Heads in the Sand is a non-fiction book about climate change denial, coauthored by Haydn Washington and John Cook, with a foreword by Naomi Oreskes.
Washington had a background in environmental science prior to authoring the work, and Cook was educated in physics and founded the website Skeptical Science which compiles peer-reviewed evidence of global warming.
The book was first published in hardcover and paperback formats in 2011 by Earthscan, a division of Routledge.
The book presents an in-depth analysis and refutation of climate change denial, going over several arguments point-by-point and disproving them with peer-reviewed evidence from the scientific consensus for climate change.
The authors assert that those denying climate change engage in tactics including cherry picking data purported to support their specific viewpoints, and attacking the integrity of climate scientists.
They use social science theory to examine the phenomenon of climate change denial in the wider public, and call this phenomenon a form of pathology.
The book traces financial support for climate change denial to the fossil fuel industry, asserting these companies have attempted to influence public opinion on the matter.
Washington and Cook write that politicians have a tendency to use weasel words as part of a propaganda tactic through use of spin, as a way to deflect public interest away from climate change and remain passive on the issue.
The authors conclude that if the public ceased engaging in denial, the problem of climate change could be realistically addressed.
For his research on the book, and efforts in communicating the essence of climate change science to the general public, John Cook won the 2011 Australian Museum Eureka Prize for Advancement of Climate Change Knowledge. "
Climate Change Denial" received a positive reception in reviews from publications including: "The EcologistECOS" magazine, academic journal "Natures Sciences Sociétés", the journal "Education" published by the New South Wales Teachers Federation.
An article in "The New American" was critical, describing the labels of "deniers" and "denialists" as cruel and forms of character assassination.

Watts Up With That?
Watts Up With That?
( WUWT) is a blog promoting climate change denial that was created by Anthony Watts in 2006.
The blog predominantly discusses climate issues with a focus on anthropogenic climate change, generally accommodating beliefs that are in opposition to the scientific consensus on climate change.
Contributors include Christopher Monckton and Fred Singer as guest authors.
In November 2009, the blog was one of the first websites to publish emails and documents from the Climatic Research Unit controversy, and a driving force behind its coverage.
In the early months of 2010, it was reported the site might be" the most read climate blog in the world," and in 2013 Michael E. Mann referred to it as the leading climate change denial blog.
Climate change denial
Climate change denial, or global warming denial is denial, dismissal, or unwarranted doubt that contradicts the scientific consensus on climate change, including the extent to which it is caused by humans, its effects on nature and human society, or the potential of adaptation to global warming by human actions.
Many who deny, dismiss, or hold unwarranted doubt about the scientific consensus on anthropogenic global warming self-label as "climate change skeptics", which several scientists have noted is an inaccurate description.
Climate change denial can also be implicit, when individuals or social groups accept the science but fail to come to terms with it or to translate their acceptance into action.
Several social science studies have analyzed these positions as forms of denialism, pseudoscience, or propaganda.
The campaign to undermine public trust in climate science has been described as a "denial machine" organized by industrial, political and ideological interests, and supported by conservative media and skeptical bloggers to manufacture uncertainty about global warming.
The politics of global warming have been affected by climate change denial and the political global warming controversy, undermining the efforts to act on climate change or adapting to the warming climate.
Those promoting denial commonly use rhetorical tactics to give the appearance of a scientific controversy where there is none.
Organised campaigning to undermine public trust in climate science is associated with conservative economic policies and backed by industrial interests opposed to the regulation of emissions.
Climate change denial has been associated with the fossil fuels lobby, the Koch brothers, industry advocates and conservative think tanks, often in the United States.
More than 90% of papers sceptical on climate change originate from right-wing think tanks.
Since the late 1970s, oil companies have published research broadly in line with the standard views on global warming.
Despite this, oil companies organized a climate change denial campaign to disseminate public disinformation for several decades, a strategy that has been compared to the organized denial of the hazards of tobacco smoking by the tobacco industry.
