Past event
Aug 16, 2016, 6:30 to 8 PM

Ever wondered how the fossil-fuel companies managed to confuse the debate about climate change? Come join us for a screening "Merchants of Doubt," sponsored by the Cathedral Church of St. Paul, Christ Church Presbyterian, Vermont Interfaith Power & Light, SolaVida, and the Vermont Chapter of the Sierra Club.

What: "Merchants of Doubt"
When: Tuesday, August 16
Doors open at 6:00 pm
Screening begins at 6:30 pm
Where: The Parish Hall at The Cathedral Church of St. Paul, 2 Cherry St., Burlington
Cost: Free!

"Inspired by the acclaimed book by Naomi Oreskes and Erik Conway, MERCHANTS OF DOUBT takes audiences on a satirically comedic, yet illuminating ride into the heart of conjuring American spin. Filmmaker Robert Kenner lifts the curtain on a secretive group of highly charismatic, silver-tongued pundits-for-hire who present themselves in the media as scientific authorities – yet have the contrary aim of spreading maximum confusion about well-studied public threats ranging from toxic chemicals to pharmaceuticals to climate change."
