Topic: Climate Denial

Climate denial refers to the persistent refusal to acknowledge the scientific evidence for human-caused climate change and its impacts, often driven by ideological, economic, and political factors.

More on: Climate Denial

The podcast episodes discuss the need to expand and redefine the concept of climate denial beyond just the conscious rejection of climate science. They explore how climate denial manifests in behavior driven by capitalist constraints, corporate influence, and political challenges, rather than just incorrect thoughts.

For example, Episode 53044 features an interview with Tad DeLay, author of 'Future of Denial,' who argues for this expanded definition of climate denial and the need to confront the deep connections between capitalism, exploitation, and the climate crisis.

Similarly, Episode 53293 analyzes how climate denial and disinformation campaigns worsen the impacts of natural disasters like hurricanes, which disproportionately affect marginalized communities due to factors like poverty and environmental racism.
