Description

Arctic ice is melting, atmospheric temperatures are climbing – yet climate change science is under attack. Detractors claim that researchers are manipulating data and hoodwinking the public. And the public is increasingly skeptical about the science.
Find out what’s behind the surge of climate change skepticism - and what global warming deniers learned from big tobacco about how to spin scientific evidence.
It’s Skeptic Check… but don’t take our word for it!
Guests:

Stephen Schneider - Climate scientist, Stanford University
Phil Chapman - Apollo 14 Mission Scientist, now a geophysicist and consultant on energy and astronautics
Simon Donner - Geographer at the University of British Columbia
Naomi Oreskes - Professor of History at the University of California, San Diego and author of Merchants of Doubt: How a Handful of Scientists Obscured the Truth on Issues from Tobacco Smoke to Global Warming
