Three Short Minutes: Naomi Oreskes deconstructs Nick Minchin’s climate denial

In this video Naomi Oreskes meets Nick Minchin and clearly explains with the driving force behind climate denial:

aversion to the political and economic implications of climate change leading to a rejection of the science.

Oreskes is the co-author of the book, ‘Merchants of Doubt’. Minchin is a retired Australian politician and a climate change skeptic. The clip is unused footage from the documentary, ‘I Can Change Your Mind about… Climate’.

Her book Merchants of Doubt is required reading for which she won the 2011 Climate Communicators Award.
