- Climate Change Denial: Heads in the Sand is a 2011 non-fiction book about climate-change denial, coauthored by Haydn Washington and John Cook, with a foreword by Naomi Oreskes. Washington had a background in environmental science prior to authoring the work; Cook, educated in physics, founded (2007) the website Skeptical Science, which compiles peer-reviewed evidence of global warming. The book was first published in hardcover and paperback formats in 2011 by Earthscan, a division of Routledge. The book presents an in-depth analysis and refutation of climate-change denial, going over several arguments point-by-point and disproving them with peer-reviewed evidence from the scientific consensus for climate change. The authors assert that those denying climate change engage in tactics including cherry picking data purported to support their specific viewpoints, and attacking the integrity of climate scientists. Washington and Cook use social-science theory to examine the phenomenon of climate-change denial in the wider public, and call this phenomenon a form of pathology. The book traces financial support for climate-change denial to the fossil-fuel industry, asserting that its companies have attempted to influence public opinion on the matter. Washington and Cook write that politicians have a tendency to use weasel words as part of a propaganda tactic through use of spin, as a way to deflect public interest away from climate change and remain passive on the issue. The authors conclude that if the public ceased engaging in denial, the problem of climate change could be realistically addressed. For his research on the book, and efforts in communicating the essence of climate-change science to the general public, John Cook won the 2011 Australian Museum Eureka Prize for Advancement of Climate Change Knowledge. Climate Change Denial received a positive reception in reviews from publications including: The Ecologist, ECOS magazine, academic journal Natures Sciences Sociétés, the journal Education published by the New South Wales Teachers Federation.

- Climate Change Denial: Heads in the Sand (litt. « Déni du changement climatique : les têtes dans le sable ») est un essai scientifique sur le déni du réchauffement climatique, coécrit par Haydn Washington et John Cook, avec une préface de Naomi Oreskes. Le livre analyse en profondeur l'argumentaire sous-jacent à la dénégation du changement climatique pour mieux le réfuter, en examinant point par point plusieurs arguments et en leur opposant des faits validés par des pairs et faisant l'objet d'un consensus scientifique sur le réchauffement climatique. Les auteurs affirment que ceux qui nient le changement climatique adoptent des tactiques telles la « cueillette de cerises » censées étayer leur point de vue tout en s'attaquant à l'intégrité intellectuelle des climatologues. Ils recourent à la théorie des sciences sociales pour examiner le phénomène de négation du changement climatique auprès du grand public et présentent ce phénomène comme une forme de pathologie. Les auteurs concluent que si le public cessait de nier le problème du changement climatique, on pourrait commencer à le traiter de manière réaliste. L'ouvrage a reçu un accueil positif des magazines de la presse spécialisée The Ecologist ou ECOS. (fr)
