Reviews

Within books on climate change and environmental communication, Climate Change Denial and Public Relations is distinct in its interrogation of industry and government communication tactics that undermine the socio-political actions needed to reverse this climate crisis. The authors take an enlightened and inclusive approach by including free-living animals among the vulnerable stakeholders who deserve consideration and reparation for human-caused global warming. - Carrie P. Freeman, Assistant Professor of Communication, Georgia State University, USA Climate change denial has long been a barrier to effective carbon reduction policies, and the nature and sources of the 'denial machine' are receiving increasing attention. This important volume adds to our knowledge by exploring the ideologies and worldviews underlying denial, and particularly the agents responsible for formulating and communicating denial narratives. It is a strong addition to the literature. - Riley E. Dunlap, Regents Professor and Dresser Professor Emeritus, Oklahoma State University, USA
