From pandemics to the climate crisis, humanity faces tougher challenges than ever. Whether it’s the health of our people or the health of our planet, we know we are on an unsustainable path. But our efforts to effectively tackle these existential crises are now hampered by a common threat: politically and ideologically motivated opposition to science.

**Michael E. Mann** and **Peter J. Hotez** are two of the most respected and well-known scientists in the world and have spent the last twenty years on the front lines of the battle to convey accurate, reliable, and trustworthy information about science in the face of determined and nihilistic opposition.

In this powerful manifesto, they reveal the five main forces threatening science: plutocrats, pros, petrostates, phonies, and the press. It is a call to arms and a road map for dismantling the forces of anti-science. Armed with the information in this book, we can be empowered to promote scientific truths, shine light on channels of dark money, dismantle the corporations poisoning the planet, and ultimately avert disaster.

Hosted by LD12 Dems, this is a **book club for Democrats throughout the state** who want to read and discuss relevant, thought-provoking books with kindred spirits. The focus is on books that encourage lively discussion and help us to better understand, protect and defend our democratic values. Meetings are virtual, on the 3rd Tuesday of the month, from 7 - 8 pm.
