It was an overflow crowd for the Feb Fourth Friday showing of Merchants of Doubt, an outstanding film about how a tiny group of cynical manipulators has been able to succeed over and over again in spreading disinformation and undercutting efforts to address climate change and other major health and environmental issues.

Special guest Dr. Phil Duffy answered questions about his role as climate scientist and activist, and spoke of the complexity and urgency of the challenge we face.

All the more reason for all of us to step up our involvement in this “year of engagement”!
