CLIMATE SCIENCE UNDER SIEGE!
September 12 at 6 p.m. Central Time
ONLINE PROGRAM
From pandemics to the climate crisis, our planet faces urgent, overlapping threats. One common obstacle cuts across them all: the rising tide of anti-science denial, disinformation, and delay.
At this Climate Action Party, we’ll learn directly from one of the world’s most acclaimed climate scientists, Dr. Michael E. Mann, about what’s fueling today’s war on science—and how we can fight back.
In conversation with Tim Guinee, President of Climate Action Now, Dr. Mann will share powerful insights from his newest book, Science Under Siege: How to Fight the Five Most Powerful Forces that Threaten Our World (co-authored with Peter J. Hotez).
We’ll explore the five forces sabotaging scientific progress—plutocrats, pros, petrostates, phonies, and the press—and uncover how they’re blocking urgent action on climate and public health. And, this won’t be just another conversation about problems. Together, we’ll take real-time action using free Climate Action Now tools to challenge disinformation, call for accountability, and protect science.
Join us to uncover the powerful interests undermining science—and then take action to protect our futures!
