The validity of the scientifi c consensus\u003cbr\u003eis therefore taken as a given, solely in order to analyse the views of\u003cbr\u003eclimate change sceptics who dispute it.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eNevertheless, most biological and environmental scientists do agree\u003cbr\u003ethat the scale of much human activity now exceeds the capacity of our\u003cbr\u003eenvironment to sustain it, or to recycle the waste it generates. Using a\u003cbr\u003eriver as a source of water, a laundry and a toilet may be possible if you\u003cbr\u003elive in a sparsely populated wilderness. If you live in a slum, however, it\u003cbr\u003eis likely to lead to your premature death.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eAs such, many activities have become problematic simply because\u003cbr\u003eof the rate at which we are carrying them out. This includes pumping\u003cbr\u003ecarbon dioxide into the atmosphere. Therefore this book addresses\u003cbr\u003ethe philosophical roots of scepticism, its possible misappropriation for\u003cbr\u003eideological reasons, and the psychological causes of denial. It concludes\u003cbr\u003eby suggesting that ending this denial of science is an essential next step\u003cbr\u003etoward a sustainable future in a post-carbon era.\u003c\/p\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 174\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.4 x 9 x 6 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e February 26, 2013\u003c\/div\u003e\n            ","brand":"BooksCloud","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52732223258931,"sku":"9781481783972","price":34.9,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0300\/5595\/6612\/files\/amduVFlhV1BNNE1od1JQTzVuc1RNUT09.webp?v=1763884854","url":"https:\/\/www.vysn.com\/en-ca\/products\/the-denial-of-science-analysing-climate-change-scepticism-in-the-uk-paperback","provider":"VYSN","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
