An infuriating account of how a few scientists, backed by the tobacco industry, the fossil fuel industry, and conservative think tanks, fostered doubt around scientific findings that they had no expertise in. The authors do an excelent job defining and outlining how true science works on the basis of peer review and collective assessment of the truth. They also do a good job highlighting that this is NOT the process used by the "merchants of doubt."

Climate change is real, but the idea that free-market capitalism is flawless is fiction.
