Denial101x - Summary and Links
This page serves as a link collection for our MOOC "Denial101x - Making sense of climate science denial" offered on edX between April 2015 and Februar 2024.
To explore what all we covered in Denial101x, please click on the graphic below to open an interactive PDF file created for a conference presentation in 2021.
Our MOOC was a collaboration between Skeptical Science and The University of Queensland and took an interdisciplinary look at climate science denial. We explained the psychological drivers of denial, debunked many of the most common myths about climate change and explored the scientific research into how to respond to climate misinformation. With all the misinformation and outright lies still getting spread about climate science - not to mention many other topics in this age of fake news - our MOOC provided the knowledge to spot and the tools to effectively counter them.
A poster about Denial101x has been presented at various conferences and you can glean at least a rough idea about our MOOC's content from it (click the image for a larger version or download the poster as a PDF-file, but with 26MB it's fairly large):
