| Sumario: | The article offers information on the problem of denialism. It states that denialism is the institutionalised, systematic effort to deny a strong consensus set by scholarly, scientific query. It says that the history of denialism can be traced back to phenomena as diverse as 19th century zeteticism that tried to prove the earth was flat and the attempt of Leopold George Christian Frederick, King of Belgium, to further defences of Belgian colonialism in Congo. |
