EP4 - Climate Denial, Misinformation, and Confirmation Bias with Dr. John Cook

We all have that one relative that vehemently denies the possibility of global warming, and logic just doesn't seem to change their mind. Today, we're talking to climate psychologist Dr. John Cook, who discusses common arguments used by climate skeptics and how to respond to them. We also learn about common sources of misinformation, as well as what makes these tactics so effective.
