The troubling story of how a cadre of influential scientists have clouded public understanding of scientific facts to advance a political and economic agenda. The U.S. scientific community has long led the world in research on such areas as public health, environmental science, and issues affecting quality of life. Our scientists have produced landmark studies on the dangers of DDT, tobacco smoke, acid rain, and global warming. But at the same time, a small yet potent subset of this community leads the world in vehement denial of these dangers. "Merchants of Doubt "tells the story of how a loose-knit group of high-level scientists and scientific advisers, with deep connections in politics and industry, ran effective campaigns to mislead the public and deny well-established scientific knowledge over four decades. Remarkably, the same individuals surface repeatedly--some of the same figures who have claimed that the science of global warming is "not settled" denied the truth of studies linking smoking to lung cancer, coal smoke to acid rain, and CFCs to the ozone hole. "Doubt is our product," wrote one tobacco executive. These "experts" supplied it. Naomi Oreskes and Erik M. Conway, historians of science, roll back the rug on this dark corner of the American scientific community, showing how ideology and corporate interests, aided by a too-compliant media, have skewed public understanding of some of the most pressing issues of our era.
"Scientists have no special purchase on moral or ethical decisions; a climate scientist is no more qualified to comment on health care reform than a physicist is to judge the causes of bee colony collapse. "

即使翻译有时候没有那么顺畅 乃至文中有几处文字错误 乃至文中所说的如图 的图没有 这本书还是很值得一读。让专业的人做专业的事,对事物抱有怀疑但是要注意度,不要沦为不可知论者,科学的圈子是人类科学的代表,我们可以相信他们,但是科学人员也是有研究领域,是有专长的。...

评分本书讲的是美国科学家的败类如何在一些科学问题上出于种种目的胡搅蛮缠影响公众判断、影响政府决策的故事。这些科学上的问题目前看科学界已经没有争议,公众也已经基本没有怀疑了:吸烟有害健康、星球大战计划根本不能有效防御核战争、酸雨对全人类有害、臭氧空洞对全人类有害...
