Mann and the Pulitzer Prize–winning political cartoonist Tom Toles have been on the front lines of the fight against climate denialism for most of their careers. They have witnessed the manipulation of the media by business and political interests and the unconscionable play to partisanship on issues that affect the well-being of billions. The lessons they have learned have been invaluable, inspiring this brilliant, colourful escape hatch from the madhouse of the climate wars.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eThe Madhouse Effect\u003c\/i\u003e portrays the intellectual pretzels into which denialists must twist logic to explain away the clear evidence that human activity has changed Earth's climate. Toles's cartoons collapse counter-scientific strategies into their biased components, helping readers see how to best strike at these fallacies. Mann's expert skills at science communication aim to restore sanity to a debate that continues to rage against widely acknowledged scientific consensus.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe synergy of these two climate science crusaders enlivens the gloom and doom of so many climate-themed books—and may even convert die-hard doubters to the side of sound science.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Unknown","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47471806972140,"sku":"9780231177870","price":35.99,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0705\/7784\/8556\/files\/b36d0e3392d3d0cd507b6be4ef9ec649.jpg?v=1775791666","url":"https:\/\/bookhero.co.nz\/products\/the-madhouse-effect-by-tom-toles-9780231177870","provider":"Book Hero","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
