Why do so many climate change initiatives fail? How can we do more to prevent humans damaging the environment?\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eThe Psychology of Climate Change\u003c\/em\u003e explores the evidence for our changing environment, and suggests that there are significant cognitive biases in how we think about, and act on climate change. The authors examine how organisations have attempted to mobilise the public in the fight against climate change, but these initiatives have often failed due to the public's unwillingness to adapt their behaviour. The book also explores why some people deny climate change altogether, and the influence that these climate change deniers can have on global action to mitigate further damage.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eBy analysing our attitudes to the environment, \u003cem\u003eThe Psychology of Climate Change\u003c\/em\u003e argues that we must think differently about climate change to protect our planet, as a matter of great urgency.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eGeoffrey Beattie\u003c\/strong\u003e is Professor of Psychology at Edge Hill University and in recent years a Masters supervisor on the Sustainability Leadership Programme at the University of Cambridge and a Visiting Professor at the Bren School of Environmental Science \u0026amp; Management at the University of California, Santa Barbara. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eLaura McGuire\u003c\/strong\u003e is a Postdoctoral Research Assistant in the Faculty of Education at Edge Hill University.
