Episode 47
Hiding From Ourselves: Muzzling Science In The Age Of Misinformation (Part 4)
In this third episode on exploring how to determine what is quality information we continue explore the climate change debate and the origins of why such a seemingly lopsided debate never won in favor of the fact-finders. How long have we known about climate change really? How far back was it known to be a problem? Were climate scientists really believing there was going to be "global cooling" in the past or is that mostly a made-up story? How can we prove that humans are the cause of it really? How did we end up with the International Panel on Climate Change? Were accusations that it was corrupt founded or was the corruption that of those making the accusations? Just as in the last episode, we will be using the book Merchants of Doubt by Naomi Oreskes and Erik M. Conway to help guide us through where the climate debate came from and why we are here today.
