What does (climate Sceptic Or Klimatskeptiker) mean? Let's check what the community at Wikipedia thinks
På svenska: Klimatskepticism, klimatförnekelse eller klimatförändringsförnekelse är förnekande, avfärdande eller ogrundat tvivel som motsäger vetenskapens konsensus om klimatförändringar, som den exempelvis presenteras i FN-panelen IPCC:s sammanfattande bedömning.Bland de frågor som klimatskeptiker tar upp finns sammanblandning mellan klimat och väder, att solen eller naturliga temperaturcykler skulle vara orsaken till temperaturförändringarna, att modellerna för att räkna fram förändringarna och temperaturmätningarna inte är tillförlitliga, och klimatforskares påståenden om förändringar sker skulle vara falska. Enligt forskning från Chalmers är de två största grupperna av klimatförnekare de industrier som producerar olja och högernationalister. En annan grupp är libertarianer som propagerar för mindre regeringsmakt, medan egennytta är en viktig egenskap inom de klimatskeptiska rörelserna. I vissa fall väljer företrädare för olika klimatskeptiska rörelser att validera somlig konsensus, men med tillägget att klimatförändringarna är så pass måttliga att inga genomgripande åtgärder anses nödvändiga. Denna lättare variant av klimatskepticism kallas på engelska för soft climate change denial. Lär dig mer på Wikipedia
In English: Climate change denial, or global warming denial, is denial, dismissal, or unwarranted doubt that contradicts the scientific consensus on climate change, including the extent to which it is caused by humans, its effects on nature and human society, or the potential of adaptation to global warming by human actions. Many who deny, dismiss, or hold unwarranted doubt about the scientific consensus on anthropogenic global warming self-label as "climate change skeptics", which several scientists have noted is an inaccurate description. Climate change denial can also be implicit when individuals or social groups accept the science but fail to come to terms with it or to translate their acceptance into action. Several social science studies have analyzed these positions as forms of denial or denialism, pseudoscience, or propaganda.The campaign to undermine public trust in climate science has been described as a "denial machine" organized by industrial, political and ideological interests, and supported by conservative media and skeptical bloggers to manufacture uncertainty about global warming.The politics of global warming have been affected by climate change denial and the political global warming controversy, undermining the efforts to act on climate change or adapting to the warming climate. Those promoting denial commonly use rhetorical tactics to give the appearance of a scientific controversy where there is none.Organized campaigning to undermine public trust in climate science is associated with conservative economic policies and backed by industrial interests opposed to the regulation of CO2 emissions. Climate change denial has been associated with the fossil fuels lobby, the Koch brothers, industry advocates and conservative think tanks, often in the United States. More than 90% of papers skeptical on climate change originate from right-wing think tanks.As recently as the 1970s, oil companies were publishing research which broadly concurred with the scientific community's view on global warming. Despite this, oil companies organized a climate change denial campaign to disseminate public disinformation for several decades, a strategy that has been compared to the organized denial of the hazards of tobacco smoking by the tobacco industry, and often even carried out by the same individuals who previously spread the tobacco industry's denialist propaganda.
