Denialism: How Irrational Thinking Harms the Planet and Threatens Our Lives by Michael Specter

2.0

This book was not very engaging. It had an interesting premise. A lot of people have an irrational trust of anything that is scientific or that cannot be easily understood. However, I felt that the author didn't give enough credence to the fact that there have unfortunately been times when science has failed us, sometimes unapologetically. Perhaps, people in various scientific arenas work to build up the public trust again.
