This study examines organized climate skepticism, focusing specifically on the discourse produced by conservative think tanks in the United States. It provides a systematic overview of contrarian literature by compiling a comprehensive corpus of over 16,000 documents from 19 organizations spanning 1998 to 2013. The research introduces a methodology to analyze key themes within this extensive body of work, revealing that discussions surrounding climate science and policy have actually increased over the years, challenging the notion that science denial has diminished in recent times.
