Book Review - Cranky Uncle vs. Climate Change: How to Understand and Respond to Climate Science Deniers

Cranky Uncle vs. Climate Change: How to Understand and Respond to Climate Science Deniers



About the Book
It’s Not Just the Facts

When it comes to climate change, this truly is a golden age—of fake news, post-truths, pluralistic ignorance, conspiracy theories, a willfully ignorant administration, and the Cranky Uncle. You know him. We all have one. That exasperating Thanksgiving blusterer digs in his heels even as the foundation of his denial thaws faster than the Arctic ice caps.

Written and illustrated by Dr. John Cook, cognitive psychologist and founder of the award-winning website Skeptical Science, Cranky Uncle combines humor and science to make clear, calm, and winnable arguments in the public controversy of climate change. Can we change our Cranky Uncle’s mind? Probably, regrettably, not. But Dr. Cook makes it easier for us to understand him. And armed with this knowledge, prevent climate misinformation from spreading further.




My Take on the Book
If you are concerned about climate change, this is a great book that kids will understand and it is written from an expert on climate change too. This book is written in a way that is written on a kids' level and even though the author is an expert he is able to articulate things so well that all can understand the important parts. This was a great book for all to read.
