Does anyone know of 'canned' lecture notes on climate change and anti-science
sentiment in the US?
I've got lots of technical material, but I'm light on social science.
Especially climate deniers, and connections with anti-evolutionists and
possibly history such as tobacco battles.
A major theme will be 'whom do you trust about scientific and technical
matters, and why'. Doctors, scientists, weather reporters, clergy, etc etc....
(Fred Singer, one of the most visible deniers, apparently in an earlier
incarnation denied links between smoking and cancer. There must be a
literature on this sort of thing. I'd like to make this a part of my
discussion of 'climategate')
My target audience is retired folk -- as a part of an OLLI project (Osher Life
Long Learning Institute) at CalStateUniv East Bay CA
Many thanks
