In this
"well-researched guide," two of the world's most respected scientists
reveal the forces behind the dangerous anti-science movement--and offer
"powerful ideas about how to fight back" (Bill McKibben, author of
Here Comes the Sun)
"Science
is indeed under siege, and that's not good for any of us. Here, Peter Hotez and
Michael Mann name names...It's not too late to do something; it's time to get
things done. Read on" (Bill Nye, science educator)
From
pandemics to the climate crisis, humanity faces tougher challenges than ever.
Whether it's the health of our people or the health of our planet, we know we
are on an unsustainable path. But our efforts to effectively tackle these
existential crises are now hampered by a common threat: politically and
ideologically motivated opposition to science.
Michael
E. Mann and Peter J. Hotez are two of the most respected and well-known
scientists in the world and have spent the last twenty years on the front lines
of the battle to convey accurate, reliable, and trustworthy information about
science in the face of determined and nihilistic opposition.
In this
powerful manifesto, they reveal the five main forces threatening science:
plutocrats, pros, petrostates, phonies, and the press. It is a call to arms and
a road map for dismantling the forces of anti-science. Armed with the
information in this book, we can be empowered to promote scientific truths,
shine light on channels of dark money, dismantle the corporations poisoning the
planet, and ultimately avert disaster.
