The everyday denial of climate change
For
nearly three decades, natural and physical scientists have provided
increasingly clear and dire assessments of the alteration in the
biophysical world. Yet despite these urgent warnings, human social and
political response to ecological degradation remains wholly inadequate.
While apathy in the United States is particularly notable, this gap
between the severity of the problem and its lack of public salience is
visible in most Western nations. As scientific evidence for climate
change pours in, public urgency and even interest in the issue fails to
correspond.
