The Madhouse Effect – How Climate Change Denial Is Threatening Our Planet, Destroying Our Politics, and Driving Us Crazy

Autor Michael Mann, Tom Toles
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 23 iul 2018
The Madhouse Effect portrays the intellectual pretzels into which denialists must twist logic to explain away the clear evidence that human activity has changed Earth's climate. Toles's cartoons collapse counter-scientific strategies into their biased components, helping readers see how to best strike at these fallacies. Mann's expert skills at science communication aim to restore sanity to a debate that continues to rage against widely acknowledged scientific consensus. The synergy of these two climate science crusaders enlivens the gloom and doom of so many climate-themed books--and may even convert die-hard doubters to the side of sound science.
