In this episode of Religion and Justice, we sit down with Dr. Tad DeLay to discuss his latest work, Future of Denial: Ideologies of Climate Change. As global temperatures rise and wildfires, droughts, and floods become more common, denialism continues to morph—from greenwashing corporate strategies to political distractions. Tad DeLay offers a deep dive into the psychology, history, and capitalist machinery that fuel climate change denial. We explore the violent consequences of this denial for the world's most vulnerable populations, from militarized responses to refugees fleeing climate disasters to bogus claims of carbon neutrality.

DeLay's interdisciplinary work pulls from critical theory, climatology, and political economy to answer pressing questions: Why do we continue to waste the little time we have left, and who will challenge the fossil fuel industry's death grip on the planet? Join us for a thought-provoking conversation that calls out capitalism's role in our ongoing ecological crisis.
