Kari Norgaard

Kari Norgaard, a sociologist and author, explores how cultural norms in Norway shape the public's response to climate change denial. Silja Ask-Lundberg, a researcher at Oil Change International, critiques the oil industry's pervasive influence on social values. Together, they delve into the paradox of Norway's green image clashing with its oil production. They discuss the societal pride tied to oil jobs, the cultural roots of Norway's oil identity, and how collective narratives sustain a reluctance to critique fossil fuel dependence.
