Science, Nature, and Environmental Skepticism 21 Since skeptics reject environmental problems as real, acting on such problems is a waste of time, money, and energy. Ultimately, this position argues that global environmental changes are not legitimate public interests. What does this mean? It means that even though one of the most well-known environmental skeptics, Bjørn Lomborg (2001), says he personally has an environmental concern, he does not see most environmental problems as worthy of public action, and if resources are used on these improper concerns other more important and pressing matters will be neglected.
1 Skeptical Books and CTTs, 1972–2005 Source: Adapted from Jacques, Dunlap, and Freeman (2008) This list was searched for CTTs that had environmental interests by key word in the Heritage database, and then went to these CTT websites to look for support of environmental skepticism from June to December 2005. From the list, we had a N of 50 (with 10 deleted from the list due to irrelevance to the search criteria— for example, we deleted the Black Alliance for Educational Options from the list Heritage generated because they did not have an environmental interest).
However, fueling Environmental Skepticism 34 much of this paradox is the counter-movement that, in conjunction with media “balancing” of pro and skeptic voices in news stories, the United States publics in particular are confused about the legitimacy of climate change policy. However, the media and the public have only begun to systematically engage the framing of systems of signification in light of the counter-movement. The reflexive identification and analysis of the context of interaction has been too thin in the popular mind and press, because the organization of the skeptics by ideological think thanks has not been transparent or revealed.
