“I can tell you that there is a very large overlap between those who
harbor conspiracy theories about climate science and those who express
unenlightened views when it comes to matters of ethnicity and gender,”
Mann said. “In short, yeah—a surprisingly large number of climate
deniers are misogynists. And so our female colleagues are at the
receiving end of a particularly toxic brew of denialism, conspiratorial
ideation and misogyny. It is most unfortunate and most disturbing.”
