This book investigates how ideological narratives are constructed and deployed to undermine scientific consensus regarding climate change. Raul P. Lejano, a professor of environmental policy, and Shondel J. Nero analyze the rhetorical strategies used by climate skeptics to frame scientific data within broader cultural and political belief systems. By examining the intersection of linguistics and environmental policy, the authors argue that climate skepticism functions less as a scientific debate and more as a sophisticated exercise in narrative persuasion. The text provides a framework for understanding how these meta-narratives gain traction in a post-truth political environment.

Experts in environmental communication and sociology identify this work as a rigorous examination of the linguistic mechanisms behind climate denial. Readers frequently note the academic density of the prose, which serves as a foundational text for those studying the intersection of public policy and narrative theory.
