Despite 97% of thescientific community forming a consensus that human activities are causingglobal warming (Cook et al., 2013), climate change legislative policy stillsmanages to struggle to be passed in some of the world’s largest carbon-dioxideemitters.
In fact, one in fourAmericans don’t believe in climate change and in a 2014 study (Jones, R., Cox,D., Navarro-Rivera, J. 2014) it was found that 12% of climate deniers are underthe impression that the scientific community was divided on the existence,cause and effects of climate change.
Research and analysishas shown that the misunderstanding of the effects of climate change and lackof legislative action in countries like the United States is a “deliberate and organised effort to misdirect the public discussion and distort the public’s understanding of climate change” (National Research Council 2011:35, cited byBrulle, R. 2013:2).
This campaign aims to identify and boycott those corporations who fund and support the climate change counter-movement. If you have any companies or products to add to the list, please let me know in the comments. Your support is greatly appreciated!
