Film Screening: "Merchants of Doubt" at St. Paul's: Tuesday, August 16 at 6:30 pm

This 90-minute documentary exposes the 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 shows 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!
