Acerca de esta escucha

Bloomsbury presents Merchants of Doubt by Naomi Oreskes & Erik M. Conway, read by Liza Seneca.

Featuring a new Foreword by former Vice President Al Gore

Finalist for the Los Angeles Times Book Prize

"Important and timely. We ignore this message at our peril."—Elizabeth Kolbert

Merchants of Doubt has been praised—and attacked—around the world, for reasons easy to understand. This book tells, with “brutal clarity” (Huffington Post), the disquieting story of how a loose-knit group of high-level scientists and scientific advisers, with deep connections in politics and industry, ran effective campaigns to mislead the public and deny well-established scientific knowledge over four decades. The same individuals who claim the science of global warming is “not settled” have also denied the truth about studies linking smoking to lung cancer, coal smoke to acid rain, and CFCs to the ozone hole. “Doubt is our product,” wrote one tobacco executive. These “experts” supplied it. Merchants of Doubt rolls back the rug on this dark corner of American science. Now with a new Foreword by former Vice President Al Gore, and with a new Postscript by the authors.

Urgency to act

Complacency is not the answer. We must combat misinformation and act now. In our own small way, we all must respond.

Required reading for every informed citizen

This is a superb work of immense recent history, investigative reporting and analysis about why American society and government delayed action on climate change and other crucial public health issues over the past several decades. It is a great testament to the value of scientific literary and living as an informed citizen in a fragile democracy.

Eye Opening Read

This book is incredibly eye-opening. It’s amazing that even 10 years after it’s initial release we are still fighting the same type of misinformation, but I feel more responsible carrying myself with the knowledge from this book.
I loved it, and have been recommending it to everyone, I really do think it’s a must-read.

Exhausting...too long

I was really looking forward to reading this book, but half-way through I couldn't take it anymore. The book covers endless anecdotes and facts which makes it exhausting. While the ideas and the content are important, I gave up midway.

Not about events of the 21st century

I selected this book because I'm interested in climate change denialism. This book chiefly concerned events of the 20th century, so it wasn't what I was looking for. The narration was not engaging. I actually thought it was AI.

So, so dishonest.

Boy, this fantasy of always-correct technocrats who will save us from All Bad Things if only we give up enough freedom sure didn't age well post-Covid. Transparently one sided, absurdly partisan. Argued so badly, I could almost start to believe smoking doesn't actually cause cancer.
