"Merchants of Doubt"
film, popcorn, and discussion, FREE.
Tuesday, July 12, 6:30-8:30
Unitarian Church of Montpelier, 130 Main St.
Sponsored by Vermont Interfaith Power and Light, Central Vermont Climate Action, and Unitarian Church of Montpelier.

This 90-minute documentary exposes a concerted strategy by Exxon and other corporations to create doubt about the facts of global climate change by using pundits-for-hire who present themselves as scientific authorities. The film exposes how the fossil fuel industry learned from and effectively used tactics developed by the tobacco industry.

Based on the book by Naomi Oreskes, the film includes industry reps, global warming deniers, environmentalists, and climate scientists to create a riveting behind-the-scenes look at how the fossil fuel industry has been so successful in blocking government action on climate change. Even if you think you already know the story, come see this important film!
