University offering free online course to demolish climate denial

Dana Nuccitelli reports at The Guardian about the new University of Queensland free Massive Open Online Course (MOOC) “Denial 101x: Making Sense of Climate Science Denial”.

The course coordinator is John Cook, University of Queensland Global Change Institute climate communication fellow, and founder of the climate science myth debunking website Skeptical Science. Cook’s research has primarily focused on the psychology of climate science denial. […] The course incorporates lessons in both climate science and psychology to explain the most common climate myths and to detail how to respond to them. Research has shown that myth debunking is most effective when people understand why the myth originated in the first place.
