A Stronghold of Climate Change Denialism in Germany: Case Study of the Output and Press Representation of the Think Tank EIKE

The research identifies the Europäisches Institut für Klima und Energie (EIKE) as a "denialist stronghold" in Germany, utilizing communication frames—specifically attacks on climate science—to foster a discourse of climate denial and delay. While EIKE attempts to obstruct climate action, the study concludes that its ideas have been "critically received by the press."

• The Europäisches Institut für Klima und Energie (EIKE) operates as a significant center for climate denialism in Germany, employing communication frames that include attacks on climate science to create a discourse of denial and delay.
• Analysis of media coverage indicates that the press has not accepted EIKE's claims, instead receiving the think tank's ideas critically.
