SUMMARY:Book Group Discussion - "The Parrot and the Igloo" by David Lipsky
DESCRIPTION:Note from W.W. Norton’s website https://wwnorton.com/books/9780393866704:\nThe New York Times best-selling author explores how “anti-science” became so virulent in American life—through a history of climate denial and its consequences.\n\n\nIn 1956\, the New York Times prophesied that once global warming really kicked in\, we could see parrots in the Antarctic. In 2010\, when science deniers had control of the climate story\, Senator James Inhofe and his family built an igloo on the Washington Mall and plunked a sign on top: AL GORE’S NEW HOME: HONK IF YOU LOVE CLIMATE CHANGE. In The Parrot and the Igloo\, best-selling author David Lipsky tells the astonishing story of how we moved from one extreme (the correct one) to the other.\n\n\nWith narrative sweep and a superb eye for character\, Lipsky unfolds the dramatic narrative of the long\, strange march of climate science. The story begins with a tale of three inventors—Thomas Edison\, George Westinghouse\, and Nikola Tesla—who made our technological world\, not knowing what they had set into motion. Then there are the scientists who sounded the alarm once they identified carbon dioxide as the culprit of our warming planet. And we meet the hucksters\, zealots\, and crackpots who lied about that science and misled the public in ever more outrageous ways. Lipsky masterfully traces the evolution of climate denial\, exposing how it grew out of early efforts to build a network of untruth about products like aspirin and cigarettes.\n\n\nFeaturing an indelible cast of heroes and villains\, mavericks and swindlers\, The Parrot and the Igloo delivers a real-life tragicomedy—one that captures the extraordinary dance of science\, money\, and the American character.\n\n\nJoin Zoom Meeting\n\nMeeting ID: 926 2795 7489 \n\n\nPasscode: NYRocks
