"Miscommunicating Science: Public Relations Perversions from Tobacco to
Climate Change"
Classroom Building 126, 3:30pm
presented by the Faculty of Science and the School of Journalism,

Richard Littlemore will talk about the use of public relations to 
create fear, uncertainty, and doubt about the health hazards of 
tobacco and the existence of climate change.  He will tell us how 
public relations helped powerful interests to overwhelm scientific 
evidence in the climate change debate and derail action on climate change.
