Just a Reminder

"Merchants of Doubt" will be shown for free Thursday, Dec 8 at First UU Society of Burlington, church at the top of Church St. "Merchants of Doubt" is a 90 minute documentary that exposes the strategies of ExxonMobil and others to create doubt about climate change. Hear pundits-for-hire present themselves as scientific authorities and stategists brag about their disinformation campaigns. The film shows how the fossil-fuel industry used tactics developed by the tobacco industry to create doubt.

Based on a book by Naomi Oreskes and Erik Conway, this film includes industry reps, global warming deniers, environmentalists and climate scientists. It is a well-crafted behind-the-scenes look at how the fossil-fuel industry has been so successful in blocking action on climate change.

6pm - Doors open and light refreshments available
6:30pm - Screening begins

This screening is co-sponsored by VT Chapter of Sierra Club, VT
Interfaith Power & Light, and FUUSB
