climate skepticism
Denying environmental science
Climate skepticism is doubt or disbelief regarding mainstream scientific consensus on climate change—particularly that it is occurring, that human activity causes it, or that it poses serious threats.
The term ranges from genuine scientific caution to outright denial: Climate skepticism has delayed environmental policy for decades.
Those holding such views are called climate skeptics.
