Sommario/riassunto

Climate Change Scepticism is the first ecocritical study to examine the cultures and rhetorics of climate scepticism in the UK, Germany, the USA and France. Collaboratively written by leading scholars from Europe and North America, the book considers climate sceptical texts as literature, teasing out differences and challenging stereotypes as a way of overcoming partisan political paralysis on the most important cultural debate of our time. -- Back cover.
