THE DANGER OF SCIENCE DENIAL

This may be preaching to the choir.  To my mind, if one does not accept evolution or climate change as real things, everything else you say lacks validity.  I doubt if the incoming administration agrees.

Award winning journalist Michael Specter's book Denialism:  How Irrational Thinking Hinders Scientific Progress, Harms the Planet, and Threatens Our Lives, which received the Robert P. Balles Annual Prize in Critical Thinking, was published in 2009.  This 2010 TED Talk he covers much of the same territory.
