Climate change fact or fiction?

Climate Change Denial: Heads in the Sand is a non-fiction book about climate change denial, coauthored by Haydn Washington and John Cook, with a foreword by Naomi Oreskes.

The book was first published in hardcover and paperback formats in 2011 by Earthscan, a division of Routledge
