The denial of climate change is delineated by means of depth psychological interviews, and is associated with collective perverse thinking that should banish profound fears and disorientation. Analogous to David's concept of "inner racism", group-analytical processes that lead to the formation and consolidation of enemy images that are ascribed to the respective other camp ("the corporations/politicians", "the eco-fundamentalists") are described. In this context, "common sense", which is unconsciously often used as a "stopgap", is questioned.
