Abstract
This chapter explains the enormous damage to people around the world and ecological systems on which hundreds of millions depend caused by a climate change disinformation campaign which has successfully blocked government action to reduce the threat of climate change for almost 50 years in the United States and several other developed countries. This damage is most notable in light of the staggering challenge to the world of limiting future warming to non-catastrophic levels as the international community strives to implement the Paris Agreement (UNFCCC 2015) which was concluded at the twenty-first Conference of the Parties (COP-21) under the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC 1992) in December, 2015.
