The project “Climate Change Sceptics. Patterns of Argumentation and Psychosocial Background” is a part of CMI’s research on sustainability and social networking. The topic of climate change is of legal relevance against the background of the recent increase in national and international environmental protection legislation. The project investigates why the communication of knowledge about climate change is opposed by some citizens. The research project particularly focuses on the mental, psychosocial and unconscious reasons for climate skepticism.
