1. Organized: groups that spread and support misinformation
2. Party political-ideological: political parties
3. Response: decisions incompatible with claimed climate goals
4. Everyday: ppl know but don't act.

Very relevant research questions from Martin Hultman. Focus on three key actors in #ClimateChange denial: extractive industries (since 1960), conservative think tanks (1989-), and right-wing nationalism (2008-). @GeoffreySupran, @BenFranta are you in touch with Martin?
Depressingly long history of #ClimateChange denial from Martin Hultman. Glaring gap between knowledge and action- partly explained by deliberate misinformation campaigns, as illustrated with #ExxonKnew tactics to delegitimize science, greenwash & mislead the public.
The worst part? Climate misinformation works. Martin Hultman shows increasing turn against science in both US and Sweden in small but growing group of #climatechange deniers. He's now studying the role of far-right mass media in this disturbing trend.
