Despite the input of the world's leading climate scientists, the urgings of politicians, and the outcry of many grassroots activists, many Americans continue to ignore the warning signs of severe climate shifts. How did this happen? Climate Cover-up seeks to answer this question, describing the pollsters and public faces who have crafted careful language to refute the findings of environmental scientists. Exploring the PR techniques, phony \"think tanks,\" and funding used to pervert scientific fact, this book serves as a wake-up call to those who still wish to deny the inconvenient truth.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"GB \/ VERY_GOOD \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":49524796817681,"sku":"GOR003126211","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"US \/ WELL_READ \/ SBYB","offer_id":49958500958481,"sku":"CIN1553654854A","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"US \/ GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":49966098809105,"sku":"CIN1553654854G","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"GB \/ LIKE_NEW \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":50249374335249,"sku":"GOR011146206","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"US \/ VERY_GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":51516019441937,"sku":"CIN1553654854VG","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"GB \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":53534134010129,"sku":"NLS9781553654858","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/1553654854.jpg?v=1751427612"},{"product_id":"i-m-right-and-you-re-an-idiot-2nd-edition-book-james-hoggan-9780865719149","title":"I'm Right and You're an Idiot - 2nd Edition","description":"This fully updated 2nd edition grapples with the desperate state of current public discourse.

It is pollution in the public square, where a smog of adversarial rhetoric, propaganda, and polarization stifles discussion and debate, creating resistance to change and thwarting our ability to solve our collective problems.  In I'm Right and You're an Idiot, author and David Suzuki Foundation chair James Hoggan grapples with this critical issue, conducting interviews with outstanding thinkers from the Himalayas to the House of Lords. Drawing on the wisdom of such notables as Thich Nhat Hanh, Noam Chomsky, and the Dalai Lama, his comprehensive analysis explores: How trust is undermined and misinformation thrives in today's public dialogue  Why facts alone fail - the manipulation of language and the silencing of dissent The importance of reframing our arguments with empathy and values to create compelling narratives and spur action. Our species' greatest survival strategy has always been foresight and the ability to leverage our intelligence to overcome adversity. For too long now this capacity has been threatened by the sorry state of our public discourse. Focusing on proven techniques to foster more powerful and effective communication, this book will appeal to readers looking for both deep insights and practical advice.  James Hoggan is president of the Vancouver PR firm Hoggan \u0026amp; Associates, chair of the David Suzuki Foundation board, and founder of the influential website DeSmogBlog. He is author of Climate Cover-Up and Do the Right Thing.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"US \/ GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":50370248933649,"sku":"CIN0865718172G","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"GB \/ VERY_GOOD \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":50893776683281,"sku":"GOR011299369","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/0865718172.jpg?v=1751012542"},{"product_id":"do-the-right-thing-book-james-hoggan-9781933102863","title":"Do the Right Thing","description":"In the age of cynicism, this is a refreshing book of PR tips, tactics and strategies for earning customer trust, employee loyalty, and goodwill among all those who are important to your business.In the current climate of mistrust people are not just tired of cute advertising and glib PR spin; they are openly hostile.
