Book Examines Climate Denial and Trump Administration Environmental Policies

A new book titled 'The Meaning of Growth: Anti-environmentalist Rhetoric and the Defence of Modernity' examines the philosophical underpinnings of climate change denial. The author conducted research at the UK's Centre for the Understanding of Sustainable Prosperity, applying an empathetic approach to understand the rationale behind anti-environmental positions. The research identifies three core concerns motivating climate denial: freedom, power, and a concept of immortality through technological progress.
