The Guardian. August 13, 2021. If you think the article’s title is an unjustified, personal challenge, then consider the context provided by its subheading: “To accept the facts about climate science without changing the way we live is also to deny reality.” In other words, regardless of whether we espouse the words, if we don’t actively work to reach a goal or uphold a set of values, in effect, we deny our belief in their importance. The author also gives a plausible accounting of some roots of such denialism and raises the spectre of the inevitable outcome should we engage in these kinds of willful blindness about either the Covid pandemic and/or climate crises: We leave the door open to being our own worst enemies.
