LA TIMES - This enthralling film, based on the book by Naomi Oreskes and Erik M. Conway, is as fascinating as it is horrifying. It gives a peek behind the curtain of how public opinion is formed in this country, how spin doctors and media manipulators often the same folks working across a whole range of issues get people to ignore science at their own peril.

So, if just 1 scientist out of 99 is a paid shill for climate denial forces, we can expect 80% of our fellow Americans will fall for just about anything, considering they fundamentally don't need facts or scientific proof.
The Merchants of Doubt are starting with fertile ground.
