Climate scientists have warned that we need to change our behaviour in ways that are both inconvenient and threaten established power. The result is a polarising division in society and a sustained attack on the researchers and their findings.

In The Knowledge Wars, Nobel prizewinner Peter Doherty makes a passionate case for citizens to become informed and evaluate the facts of the debate for themselves and provides practical guidance on how to take action.

The Knowledge Wars challenges our assumptions and encourages us to take an evidence-based view of the world. There's something here to offend everybody!
