IT IS widely understood that the very powerful forces of climate change denial have delayed action to address the climate crisis and thus are responsible for a huge amount of suffering and deaths attributable to climate breakdown.
Less appreciated is the unintended impact these dark corporate interests have had on the popular perception of climate experts. For example, having only recently started to move beyond framing the debate as being between denialists and those who accept the scientific consensus, the media largely present climate experts as one big monolithic block. Rarely do they explore the different politics that exist amongst the climate community.
This is deeply unhelpful, because the politics of individual climate specialists and research institutions have huge ramifications in terms of discussing the climate crisis, about who or what is to blame and therefore what action needs to be taken and when.
