For a century, scientists have known about the impact of human activity on the earth’s climate systems. But even as the science coalesced and forecasts became facts, a strong sense of disbelief and skepticism has been embraced by some political leaders and private citizens.

In this talk, professor Naomi Oreskes, co-author of Merchants of Doubt, will explore the roots of misinformation that have sowed doubt in climate science and the implications for society and the common good.
