Climate Change Denialism and Leadership

i think one of the best and most important ways to get around this is to show people like you, people whom you socially identify with, they they also agree with the scientific consensus here. And then the fourth point they bring up is encouraging people to explicitly discuss their values and stants on climate change prior to engaging with climate information. I mean, i think this ties in very much to what i was just talking about with the identity of protective cognition. Like you don't want to embrace a belief that you see is antithetical to people in your social group who have the kind of integrity that you value. Once something like this becomes politicized, it's difficult to unpoliticize it
