The president of this year's UN climate talks, Andre Correa do Lago, warns of a new phase of climate denial, which focuses on undermining climate policies rather than disputing climate science. He expresses concern that some vested interests aim to obstruct economic changes crucial for addressing the climate crisis. This shift from scientific denialism to economic denial poses significant risks to timely climate action, particularly in light of the rising influence of populism and leaders who rollback environmental policies, exemplified by Trump's presidency.
As the climate crisis has gathered pace, temperatures have risen and the effects of extreme weather have become more obvious, scientists have been able to draw ever more clearly the links between greenhouse gas emissions and our impacts on the planet.
It's not a scientific denial, it's an economic denial. This economic denial could be just as dangerous and cause as much delay as repeated attempts to deny climate science in previous years.
