This talk highlights some of the weirdly-close connections between tobacco and climate change, discussions of people and thinktanks that promote anti-science in both, and observations about the sociology, psychology, funding and politics of all this.  There are many similarities and a few differences.  The Legacy Tobacco Documents Library has been absolutely invaluable in my most recent investigations, and John will give some examples of things he found. "
