Let's expose everyday climate denial. Here's how

Trump's climate stance is blatant and extreme but just as damaging is the daily denial that goes unchallenged, from airport expansion to pub patio heaters. A first step to change is to call it out #DailyClimateDenial

You know things are bad when it takes Donald Trump pulling the US out of the Paris agreement for climate change to be discussed during the UK election. His climate denial is of the extreme and obvious variety: pages were removed from the Environmental Protection Agency website explaining its causes and consequences when he came into office.

Equally if not more damaging, however, is the daily climate denial that passes mostly unremarked all around us. The Institute of Directors recently proposed not one, but two new airport runways for London in a report called Let's push things forward. It made no mention of the effect on rising emissions and a better title might have been "Let's push things over the edge". The oil company BP's irony free sponsorship of the British Museum's Sunken Cities exhibition merely highlighted how removed climate now is from our everyday cultural imagination.
