| Anne Manne helps us understand something about denial. |
The equations that
lead to climate change and relatively simply and subsequently
understandable, but the intellectual gymnastics that result in denial are so
complex they escape logic and reason.
The Monthly has discussed that denial and its reason in a
story headed: “Confident white males – and other profiles of denialism”.
Author, Anne Manne opened with the thought: “The ‘facts’ on
climate change could not be clearer” and ended her discussion saying conservative,
white males are three times more likely to be denialists, noting that they are
technophobes who see a technological fix consistent with preserving the life of
the consumer as deeply appealing.
