eLibrary DENIAL Version 1.0 (September 2021)
The purpose of this eLibrary is to introduce scientific research and debate on the roots of climate change denial. The list is not intended to be exhaustive. For readers new to the field, we recommend reading the Abstract and Conclusion first, before deciding whether to invest further in a specific piece. All the pieces are free-online. However, some items have been republished in Academia Edu [AE] and Research Gate [RG]. These can be accessed simply by registering at each (once only).
