Laila Mendy, Mikael Karlsson and Daniel Lindvall. "Counteracting climate denial: A systematic review". Sage Publications. January 20, 2024. https://journals.sagepub.com/...

Despite overwhelming scientific consensus on climate change, climate denial is still widespread.  While much research has characterized climate denial, comparatively fewer studies have systematically examined how to counteract it.  This review fills this gap by exploring the research about counteracting climate denial, the effectiveness and the intentions behind intervention.  Through a systematic selection and analysis of 65 scientific articles, this review finds multiple intervention forms, including education, message framing and inoculation.  The intentions of intervening range from changing understanding of climate science, science advocacy, influencing mitigation attitudes and counteracting vested industry.  The review offers guiding questions for counteracting climate denialism.
