Ep 23 - Why Climate Denial Remains A Sell In US?
Update: 2025-10-01
Description
Producer: Liu Chang
Hosts: Wang Zongnan & Aiwei
At the UN General Assembly, Donald Trump called climate change “the greatest con job ever perpetrated on the world.”
But why does this message — mocking renewables, defending fossil fuels, dismissing science — still resonate with so many Americans?
In this episode, we ask:
- Why is Trump so hostile to climate action?
- How do economy, business interests, and party politics shape his stance?
- Why does rejecting science feel like loyalty in U.S. politics?
- And what does the rest of the world make of it — especially as China pushes ahead on green energy?
