Are We Wired to Deny Climate Change? | The Agenda

Is the existential threat of climate change too big or too terrifying for our minds to grasp? Is there a new form of climate change denial that is more common and dangerous than your garden-variety factual denial? Are some of our evolved instincts that once helped us survive, now helping hasten our demise? The Agenda examines the blind-spots, biases, and defence mechanisms in our minds that allows us to continue to ignore the existential threat of climate change.
