Abstract While media coverage of climate change has been shown to imply selective knowledge transformation ( Carvalho 2007 ; Brand & Brunnengräber 2012 ; Kunelius & Roosvall 2021 ), studies assessing the potential for climate experts’ terminology to acquire ideological undertones as it enters mediatic discourses are still scarce.

The paper identifies a gap in understanding how denial is shaped by classed and embodied relations with state knowledge regimes, media discourses, and environmental governance. The study highlights the need for a semiotic approach to climate politics.
