Most of us recognize that climate change is real, and yet we do nothing to stop it. What is this psychological mechanism that allows us to know something is true but act as if it is not? George Marshall's search for the answers brings him face to face with Nobel Prize-winning psychologists and the activists of the Texas Tea Party; the world's leading climate scientists and the people who denounce them; liberal environmentalists and conservative evangelicals.

Dans cet essai, le sociologue et philosophe américain George Marshall propose une nouvelle approche à l'une des plus épineuses questions de notre temps : alors que le réchauffement climatique se manifeste par un nombre croissant de signaux, comment se fait-il que nous puissions encore ignorer son impact sur notre planète ? Il a découvert que nos valeurs, nos opinions, nos préjugés ont leur vie propre.
