Misinformation Meltdown: Climate Change Conundrums

This chapter humorously recounts a 2017 incident where White House Chief of Staff Rens Priebus warned against misinformation affecting President Trump's views on climate change. The discussion contrasts outdated fears of global cooling from the 1970s with current concerns of global warming, while highlighting the struggle of climate scientists against public misconceptions fueled by influential figures. Through anecdotes and metaphors, the speakers dissect the roles of media and social discourse in shaping public understanding of climate science.
