OPINION: There are three types of climate change denier, and most of us are at least one

What is denied or minimised are the psychological, political, and moral implications of the facts for us.Of course, some are unable to respond, financially or otherwise, but for many, implicatory denial is a kind ofIgnoring the moral imperative to act is as damning a form of denial as any other, and arguably is much worse.

The treatment of Thunberg, and the vigour with which people push away reminders of that which they would rather not deal with, illustrate implicatory denial.In the case of climate change, implicatory denial allows us to use a reusable coffee cup, recycle our plastic or sometimes catch a bus, and thus to pretend to ourselves that we are doing our bit.

Almost none of us individually, or we as a nation, has acted as we ought on the science of climate change.

I have fact checked this article. Neither of the authors are climate scientists, not that that seems to matter to the ABC

. 99% of the public could not quote a rational data-supported case to support their view of climate change & its causes either way. The psych assessment should be done on those who believe either narrative without any critical thought themself. Aka I know you are but what am I?

. For people at university they sure aren't very scientific in their work. The article is based on a premise that yhe entire scientific community of the globe is in agreement that humans are causing climate change that will cause catastrophe. And this is a false premise. .

let me tell you what type I am; AGW is a total hoax...no question about it and I have researched it for more than 10 years...what have you done?

A post like this seems to show how bad the organisers of the end of world protest is going.

We have a word for what Iain Walker is doing, 'demonising' and it is a prelude to overt fascism & suppression of dissenting voices. Except he is deluded as he thinks his clique has the numbers to control others when he is really just a noisy minority with a big mouth & no muscle.

How quaint. TheirABC doing their own bit of protesting to help their ExtinctionRebellion mates. How very ABC.

Your key word is Opinion

Here’s your one type of climate change alarmist ...

How many of these climate cultists preaching the world is going to end due to AGW could even name this man and explain how he concocted the very narrative they're blindly regurgitating? If you're going to be part of a cult, you better know your high priest.

GretaThunberg no denier can refute after israelitish took control of 9 OUT OF 10, nations, as an invasive. All leading scientific curriculum, is based upon and , agrees with ultimate destruction of universe. BUISNESSASUSUAL. A political tweak, can remove above depreciation.

Are the Extinctionrebellion “protesters” queuing up for their Big Mac after the rally part of the denial group?

All you need to know about climate change is that most models have failed to account for measured data and that measured data is criminally altered in order to fit people's existing models... Extinction rebels all out in order to maintain UN funding levels. Do something useful UN

OMG people, read the article. It is NOT ABC News making any sort of claim. It is the OPINION of Iain Walker and Zoe Leviston...

What about the sane people who believe climate change is an issue but the world is not on the brink of destruction?

Bullshit

Absolutely no one denies the climate changes, but only a fringe of nutters think the world is going to end

The ABC is the one that mislabels HumanCausedGlobalWarming 'climate change' which feeds the obfuscation behind the more extreme types of AGW denierrhea. PseudonymTsunami

Labor's climate policies left voters 'confused and scared', Joel Fitzgibbon saysFederal Labor frontbencher Joel Fitzgibbon wants his party to adopt the Government's climate change targets. Climate change is a lot scarier than Labor's policies. Amazing that a country that will be so badly hit as Australia is still suffering from this deluded inertia. I thought the whole idea was to do what was right for the planet, the country and its people.....apparently I was wrong. Not happy about this 'roll over' attitude.....if this is how he thinks, he needs to go. We need conviction and commitment and the courage to do what's right. Yet another example of ALP trying to join the coalition. What is the actual point of Labor any more? auspol LNPlite

Is Extinction Rebellion achieving anything? Is it hurting the cause?By glueing themselves to roads, blocking traffic in city centres, rolling makeshift barricades in front of cars and scaling bridges, climate change rebels have certainly made a lot of noise. Because doing nothing was working. Whoa re the experts, are they conflicted by fossil fuel interests by any chance? I’m gonna stop working and join the party Free Centrelink to become a protester If they want to tackle climate change l know this suggested is not realise, cutting down on the number of cars on the road diesel petrol doesn't help the environment.
