Abstract

Climate science in the United States has been uniquely politicized, which has caused considerable confusion among the general public regarding the climate change issue. Right-wing politicians and think tanks have used the legacy of climate research strategically to deny the current crisis by falsely depicting greenhouse science as uncertain and contradictory. The corporate media has largely accepted this frame of the issue. This history helps account for the success of the carbon interests and the politicians who work for them and the lack of political action against global warming in the United States.
