摘　　要：全球变暖是科学家和科学机构一致认可的科学共识。然而,美国公众对这一科学共识仍存在误解,认为气候学家对此还有着巨大争议。造成这一现状的原因是全球变暖的反对者用多种手段制造各种错误信息误导公众。反对者着重强调科学研究的不确定性,选用极端天气事件质疑气候变暖,论证简单但易于传播并具迷惑性。石化企业和相关智库的有意误导、复杂的国际政治环境和国内的政党政治纷争、新闻媒体报道的倾向性都在其中发挥了重要作用。Global warming is a scientific consensus recognized by scientists and scientific institutions. However, the American public still misunderstands the scientific consensus, thinking climatologists have huge controversies about it. The reason is that global warming opponents use various misinformation to mislead the public. They overemphasize the uncertainty of scientific researches and select extreme weather events to question global warming. Their arguments are uncomplicated but easy to spread and deceptive. The petrochemical companies and related think tanks’ deliberately misleading, complex international political environment and domestic political disputes, and the bias of news media reports play important roles in misunderstanding the consensus of climate warming.
