As an active climate change activist, I’ve been arguing with climate change deniers for a while. Through these often painful and frustrating experiences, I’ve learned that not all climate deniers are cut from the same cloth. So, I decided to identify some key profiles.

For those unfamiliar with the term, climate deniers are individuals who reject the scientific consensus that global warming and climate change are happening and are being caused by human activities, mainly through the use of fossil fuels. Unfortunately, and quite shockingly, there’s no shortage of climate deniers out there. It’s essential to recognize that most climate deniers are likely victims of misinformation, often stirred up by the oil sector and other groups eager to maintain the status quo.
