The Parrot and the Igloo: Climate and the Science of Denial by David Lipsky

informative

5.0

I started the book expecting a mash-up of The Current War, Losing Earth and Merchants of Doubt, and I think that's a decent quick description. If you are looking for a very focused climate policy and disinformation narrative then this might not be the right fit for you, personally, I loved the way everything stitched together, Tesla and Edison, cults, aspirin, tobacco villains, eccentric Brits. I'd watch a mini-series based on this in a heartbeat.  I had trouble keeping some of the names straight in the last third of the book, but I think that's because I was in audio format, and that's the section I would re-read anyway. I'm not totally sure why the epilogue was so long, seemed like a really interesting section, not just a summary/conclusion.
