Climate Change Sceptics

Bernard Legras

European Review, 2013, vol. 21, issue S1, S85-S93

Abstract: By predicting a global change of the Earth's climate, scientists are delivering an uncomfortable message. The release of the fourth IPCC report in 2007 has led to a surge of scepticism and criticism of both the science and the scientists. All this has received a lot of press coverage. Here I discuss the roots of climate change scepticism and how it has been triggered by the complex and novel aspects of climate science. I also call for more transparent and open practice in science, as more light is precisely what its opponents cannot afford.
