Any strategy to mitigate climate change will have economic and political implications that are incompatible with libertarian ideals of free markets. These political implications have created an environment of rhetorical adversity in which disinformation is systematically disseminated by a variety of politically and economically motivated actors who seek to delay or defang climate policies. I review the strategies of climate denial and how they fit within an historical arc ranging from denial of the adverse health effects of tobacco to the denial of facts and policies involving the COVID-19 pandemic. I review communicative countermeasures and conclude by pointing to the necessity to examine whether science denial is a necessary implication of libertarianism or whether it can be reframed to become an ally in climate mitigation and public-health policies.

任何减轻气候变化的战略都会产生与自由市场的自由主义理想不相容的经济和政治影响。这些政治影响创造了一种言辞上的逆境，在其中，虚假的信息被试图延缓或推翻气候政策的各种出于政治和经济动机的参与者系统地散布。我回顾了气候否认策略以及它们如何适应历史，从否认烟草的不良健康影响到否认涉及COVID-19大流行的事实和政策。
