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 is sue—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.
