"Mass media have been a key vehicle by which climate change contrarianism has traveled, according to Maxwell Boykoff, a University of Colorado at Boulder professor and fellow of the Cooperative Institute for Research in Environmental Sciences, or CIRES.
Boykoff, an assistant professor of environmental studies, presented his research at the annual meeting of the American Association for the Advancement of Science in San Diego. He spoke during a panel discussion titled 'Understanding Climate Change Skepticism: Its Sources and Strategies.'
Boykoff's segment was titled 'Exaggerating Denialism: Media Representations of Outlier Views on Climate Change' and discussed prominent pitfalls.
