Merchants Of Doubt is our outstanding film selection for the month.  It provides an inside look at the PR firms, think tanks, and individuals who maintain the climate science denier industry.  Fascinating parallels between current anti-science propaganda and that used to deny the dangers of cigarette smoke and toxic chemicals are detailed.   The film utilizes an entertaining style to educate us on this important topic -- KNOW THINE ENEMY.


Merchants of Doubt is based on an acclaimed book of the same name by renowned science historians Naomi Oreskes and Erik M. Conway.
