Climate denial has crippled climate communication and has had negative influence on climate education.

The science of climate change has done just fine against climate denialism, and the science has only grown stronger over time. The problem has been that a glaring gap has opened between scientific knowledge and public audience perception of that knowledge (and the scientific consensus). A large portion of the public audiences has this issue, which can negatively affect all aspects of climate education, as school boards, teachers and parents may suffer from the consensus gap. As the energy-industrial complex has poured millions of dollars into PR firms to promote its propaganda against the scientific consensus, climate denial has crippled climate communication and has had negative influence on climate education.
