Naomi
Oreskes is an American historian of science and Affiliated Professor of
Earth and Planetary Sciences at Harvard University. In 2010 she
co-authored Merchants of Doubt which describes how the tobacco industry
wrote the handbook on using doubt to delay legislative action against
the harms of tobacco. The same book also chronicles how the same
tactics, and often the same merchants of doubt, are today used to cast
doubt on environmental issues like global warming.
In this clip
Oreskes talks about why attacking the consensus on global warming is
such a key strategy for climate science deniers and vested interest.
You can find examples of attacks on the scientific consensus in the following archive on Real Sceptic:
