Counteracting climate denial: A systematic review

Dear Gep-ed colleagues,
FYI-- My colleagues in Uppsala have a new article that may interest many of you, given the frequency with which we all encounter climate denialisms.
Counteracting climate denial: A systematic review
Laila Mendy , Mikael Karlsson & Daniel Lindvall
ABSTRACT
Despite scientific consensus on climate change, climate denial is still widespread. While much research has characterized climate denial, comparatively fewer studies have systematically examined how to counteract it. This review fills this gap by exploring the research about counteracting climate denial, the effectiveness and the intentions behind intervention. Through a systematic selection and analysis of 65 scientific articles, this review finds multiple intervention forms, including education, message framing and inoculation. The intentions of intervening range from changing understanding of climate science, science advocacy, influencing mitigation attitudes and counteracting vested industry. A number of divergent findings emerge: whether to separate science from policy; the disputed effects of emotions and the longitudinal impacts of interventions. The review offers guiding questions for those interested in counteracting denialism, the answers to which indicate particular strategies: identify the form of climate denial; consider the purpose of intervention and recognise one’s relationship to their audiences.
