   The Merchants of Doubt by Naomi Oreskes and Erik M. Conway   
      
   "Merchants of Doubt: How a Handful of Scientists Obscured the Truth on   
   Issues from Tobacco Smoke to Global Warming "   
      
   "Oreskes and Conway write that in each case "keeping the controversy   
   alive" by spreading doubt and confusion after a scientific consensus   
   had been reached was the basic strategy of those opposing action.[1]   
   In particular, they say that Fred Seitz, Fred Singer, and a few other   
   contrarian scientists joined forces with conservative think tanks and   
   private corporations to challenge the scientific consensus on many   
   contemporary issues.["   
      
   One reviewer said that Merchants of Doubt is exhaustively researched   
   and documented, and may be one of the most important books of 2010.   
   Another reviewer saw the book as his choice for best science book of   
   the year.[3] It was made into a film, Merchants of Doubt, directed by   
   Robert Kenner, released in 2014
