The troubling story of how a cadre of influential scientists have clouded public
understanding of scientific facts to advance a political and economic agenda.

The U.S. scientific community has long led the world in research on public health, environmental science, and other issues affecting the quality of life.

But at the same time, a small yet potent subset of this community leads the world in vehement denial of these dangers.
