The suspension of disbelief
From: The Environmentalist’s Dilemma
$2.10
This chapter examines the phenomena of news presented as two opposing sides and the role of unregulated social media and fake news. It suggests that conspriacy theories and denial of climate change arise from the same source, and that if changing behaviour is too difficult, many choose to filter the information we receive instead.
