| Abstract: | This chapter examines the evolution of climate change obstructionism in Scotland, a site of particular interest because of its political and economic context. This chapter will chart the history of Scotland’s climate change debate in general and obstructionism in particular, paying attention to the political economy of oil and gas extraction in Scotland in the 21st century. It will examine the role of interest groups such as trade associations representing the oil and gas sector, trade unions representing workers in extractive industries, and individual private enterprises (including some of the oil majors with interests in Scotland) in shaping the country’s climate debate and policy. It will also consider the connection between climate obstructionism and policy, examining climate delay and climate denial discourses in Scotland’s mainstream and social media |
