Wicked Problem
Looking forward to reading the values and world view section as well as the psychological factors. I found the framing of Climate Change as a 'wicked problem' very fascinating when studying the climate change and business futures unit at UC. --U3145017 (discuss • contribs) 14:51, 31 August 2020 (UTC)

Social identity denial for climate change
There is some good research available on how what community an individual identities with can impact their beliefs on climate change. Further, there is examples of how to influence deniers. I have added a link to a good paper if you're interested https://www.frontiersin.org/articles/10.3389/fpsyg.2016.00121/full --Jackson McNee (discuss • contribs) 00:58, 24 September 2020 (UTC)

Additional information
I would be interested to read a subheading or section on the effects of climate change denial on the effects of believers, and suggest you could potentially look at cognitive dissonance as a factor causing or sustaining the denial. U3202026 (discuss • contribs) 06:36, 5 October 2020 (UTC)

Interactive learning features
Hi, this looks like a great start to a very interesting topic. However, I noticed that you don't have a quiz. Part of the criteria is to have an interactive learning feature. This is a super quick and easy section to add, and helps engage learners. Here's a link to a Wikiversity help page for setting up quizzes. U3189449 (discuss • contribs) 23:49, 8 October 2020 (UTC)

Motivations behind denial
I thought you might be able to discuss the different motivations that can cause this denial. I know my grandfather spent made his livelihood in fracking and lithium mining. He uses this denial as a defence mechanism. Maybe look into the Freud defence mechanism denial and why people do it. Maybe discuss how a lot of people who have very little scientific knowledge on the topic are being so vocal. Maybe also look into conspiracy theories and why people cling to them. Good luck! --U3201178 (discuss • contribs) 06:01, 14 October 2020 (UTC)
