For this discussion, I want you to explore the phenomenon of global climate change denial by reading the article "Is climate denialism dead?" by the World Economic Forum (WEF), and answering the following questions:
A. What is climate denialism and what is the WEF's perspective regarding this position?
B. What is the World Economic Forum and why do you think they have this perspective regarding climate denialism?
C. Do you agree with the position ofthe WEF or are you more on the side of the climate deniers?
D. How does climate denialism fit within the broader discussion of the global climate crisis in this course?
