This was published yesterday, May 25, 2010, by Bloomsbury Press. Unfortunately it's not yet available as an ebook, but it looks interesting. The name of it is Merchants Of Doubt by Naomi Oreskes and Erik M. Conway. Among other things, the book claims that many of the same scientists that are now being quoted in the press as experts who deny global warming are very often the same scientists who formerly worked for big tobacco to deny the dangers of tobacco and second-hand smoke.

I suspect we'll be hearing more about this one. The Amazon link can be found here.



Those who wish to see a 74 minute lecture by the author can do so at the link below.
