“…Nonetheless, substantial and growing public doubt remains about the anthropogenic cause and scientific agreement about the role of anthropogenic greenhouse gases in climate change (4,5). A vocal minority of researchers and other critics contest the conclusions of the mainstream scientific assessment, frequently citing large numbers of scientists whom they believe support their claims (6)(7)(8). This group, often termed climate change skeptics, contrarians, or deniers, has received large amounts of media attention and wields significant influence in the societal debate about climate change impacts and policy (7,(9)(10)(11)(12)(13)(14).…”

“…We provide a broad assessment of the relative credibility of researchers convinced by the evidence (CE) of ACC and those unconvinced by the evidence (UE) of ACC. Our consideration of UE researchers differs from previous work on climate change skeptics and contrarians in that we primarily focus on researchers that have published extensively in the climate field, although we consider all skeptics/contrarians that have signed prominent statements concerning ACC (6)(7)(8). Such expert analysis can illuminate public and policy discussions about ACC and the extent of consensus in the expert scientific community.…”

“…Dans cette optique, on a beaucoup incriminé les sceptiques, les marchands de doute et la fabrique de l'ignorance (Oreskes et Conway, 2010). Si ces différents acteurs et courants ont eu aux États-Unis un rôle incontestable, et ont contribué dans ce pays à établir une guerre idéologique autour du changement climatique (McCright et Dunlap, 2000 ;Lahsen, 2008), ils n'ont pas eu ailleurs, notamment en France, la même importance (Aykut et al, 2012). De plus, la focalisation des débats autour du climato-scepticisme a souvent permis d'occulter diverses raisons de l'échec dans l'élaboration de politiques climatiques efficaces ou a empêché de reconnaître que l'appréciation du risque climatique reste très variable dans les populations et les gouvernements sur l'échelle de toutes les urgences (impératifs de développement et de politiques sanitaires, accès à l'électricité, chômage et emploi, crise économique, etc.…”

“…Une anthropologue a montré la dimension culturelle de l'engagement de physiciens sceptiques aux États-Unis : ils défendent certes des valeurs politiques et leur situation d'élites intellectuelles menacées par la montée des questions environnementales, mais aussi des visions normatives de la science et de la modernité ancrées dans leurs propres pratiques disciplinaires (Lahsen, 2008). On reviendra plus loin sur ce rapport entre critiques épisté-mique et politique.…”
