Dr. Jerry Kroth from Santa Clara University will present an analysis of two major psychological mechanisms used in the American body politic which effectively distort the seriousness of global warming and any effective response to it. The U.S. is the world's second largest emitter of green house gases, and the scope and extent of media and political propaganda surrounding this issue are legion.
The talk to be given is based on Professor Kroth's latest book, Duped! Delusion, denial, and the end of the American dream.
