Climate change denial refers to the rejection or skepticism regarding the scientific consensus that climate change is occurring and is primarily driven by human activities, such as the burning of fossil fuels. This denial can manifest in various forms, including questioning the validity of climate data, disputing the role of greenhouse gases, or downplaying the potential impacts of climate change on the environment and society. Individuals or groups who engage in climate change denial often cite alternative theories or emphasize uncertainties in climate science. This can hinder efforts to address the issue, as it may lead to a lack of public support for policies aimed at reducing carbon emissions and promoting sustainable practices.
