Working from Naomi Oreske and Erik Conway’s acclaimed book, Robert Kenner (FOOD INC.) crafts an entertaining and thoughtful investigation of an acute problem: the pro-industry science deniers. From the advocates of nuclear deterrence, to the peddling of pseudo-science by cigarette manufacturers to deniers of climate change—perhaps today’s most urgent scientific and political issue—Kenner exposes the ways that industryfunded professional deniers deliberately mystify what the scientific community considers settled facts. A startling array of climate change deniers cheerfully admit to their distortions and Kenner is able to locate the ideological convictions that are driving them. Particularly moving is one arch-conservative U.S. Congressman who decided to go to Antarctica to check out the state of the polar ice caps for himself. Shaken by what he saw, he returned to oppose his old die-hard ideological allies.
