    Have you had a chance to read the source peer reviewed article that this Forbes guest journalist is referring to?

    Science or Science Fiction? Professionals’ Discursive Construction of Climate Change

    I think you should read the article , because , embarrassingly to the journo , it seems that the research was about technical professionals working in the
    Oil and gas industry in Canada.
    And in fact , it doesn't actually say what the journal is promoting.

    Here is an extract from the paper.

    Climate change could irreversibly affect future generations and, as such, is one of the most urgent issues facing organizations (Hoffman, 2007; Porter & Reinhardt, 2007). It is being hotly debated in the public and among scientists and economists, yet few articles study global warming or climate change from an organizational and management research perspective (Ansari, Gray, & Wijen, 2011; Goodall, 2008). Most research has focused on the contestation of GHG governance and management (Engels, 2006; Levy & Egan, 2003; Mackenzie, 2009; Okereke, 2007; Wittneben, 2008), while underestimating the still ongoing debate among experts over core assumptions. Although there seems to be consensus that anthropogenic climate change presents a profound global challenge, policy makers and companies have opposed the regulations of GHG emissions. As Levy and colleagues (e.g., Levy & Kolk, 2002; Levy & Rothenberg, 2002) argue, business responses particularly in North America have been substantively ineffective, barely exceeding reputational and brand management issues. For obvious reasons, fossil fuel industries’ stakes in this struggle are high and, not surprisingly, they are at the forefront of the opposition to carbon regulation (Wittneben, Okereke, Banerjee, & Levy, 2009).

    I don't know if anyone has bothered to read this far down , but what makes a journal and journal so deliberately mislead and catch posters like Dave out?

    It's dishonest.
