The University of West England is hosting a major conference on climate
change 'denial'.

"The idea that 'climate change denial' is a psychological disorder - the
product of a spiteful, wilful or simply in-built neural inability to face up
to the catastrophe of global warming - is becoming more and more popular
amongst green-leaning activists and academics. And nothing better sums up
the elitism and authoritarianism of the environmentalist lobby than its
psychologisation of dissent. The labelling of any criticism of the politics
of global warming, first as 'denial', and now as evidence of mass
psychological instability, is an attempt to write off all critics and
sceptics as deranged, and to lay the ground for inevitable authoritarian
solutions to the problem of climate change. Historically, only the most
illiberal and misanthropic regimes have treated disagreement and debate as
signs of mental ill-health. "
