The Scientific Revolution grew out of the Renaissance. Before then the world suffered in a dark age. Science has since been at the forefront of progress, prosperity, and the evolution of civilization. Science denial is seeking to return us to the dark age. #ClimateBrawl

Working-prototype cover. Book currently under review by publishers. "Autopsy of Climate Denial: Disinformation and the Great Planetary Experiment" is a popular book on climate change through the lens of climate denial. More to come (hopefully) in the near future.

Questions are weaponized by the dishonest practice commonly known as sealioning. Climate deniers aggressively ask questions but have no interest in hearing the answers or learning. Their intent is to rattle their opponents and to engage in endless debate. #ClimateBrawl
