Criminologists contend that criminals use techniques of neutralisation to help deny or justify a crime they have committed. These five techniques were first defined in 1964 from the types of arguments given by young people in the criminal justice system when justifying their actions.
Denial of responsibility – it is not the offender’s fault.
Denial of injury of harm – the crime does not cause significant harm or may have positive results.
Denial of victim – there is no clear victim.
Condemnation of the condemner – the offender criticises the criminal justice system to avoid criticism of the offender.
Appeal to higher loyalties – deviant behaviour was in aid of a greater good or to benefit someone else.


Denial of responsibility – climate change is happening, but humans aren’t the cause.
Denial of injury or harm – there’s no significant harm caused by human action and there may even be some benefits.
Denial of victim – there’s no climate change and so no victims, but if victims of climate change existed, they’d deserve to be victimized.
Condemnation of the condemner – climate change research is misrepresented by scientists, and manipulated by the media, politicians and environmentalists.
Appeal to higher loyalties – economic progress and development are more important than preventing climate change. This will help protect us from energy poverty and allow developing nations to prosper.
