Climate obstructors are individuals, organizations, and corporations who contribute to the denial, delay, misinformation, deflection, and dismissal of climate science, proposed policies to allay climate change, and/or climate advocacy. This thesis analyzes the influence of climate obstructors on climate inaction. It then identifies climate activism mechanisms relating to consumerism and politics, which are synthesized in a framework. Potential drawbacks of findings, current knowledge gaps in the literature, and suggestions for further research are also discussed.
