If you missed the chance to see the movie "Merchants of Doubt" in the theaters, here is another chance:
February 26, 7 pm– Merchants of Doubt – plus special guest
Unitarian Church in Palo Alto - Fireside Room
505 E Charleston Rd, Palo Alto, CA
Inspired by the acclaimed book by Naomi Oreskes and Erik Conway,
Merchants of Doubt takes audiences on a satirically comedic, yet illuminating ride into the heart of conjuring American spin. Filmmaker Robert Kenner lifts the curtain on a secretive group of highly charismatic, pundits-for-hire who present themselves in the media as scientific authorities, yet have the contrary aim of spreading maximum confusion about well-studied public threats ranging from toxic chemicals to pharmaceuticals to climate change.

Introducing the movie and answering questions will be Dr. Phillip Duffy, President and Executive Director of the Woods Hole Research Center, an internationally renowned climate research facility on Cape Cod, Massachusetts. Dr. Duffy attended the Paris Climate Summit in November.
