Chris Mooney’s Republican War on Science, Revised and Updated

Get your news from a source that’s not owned and controlled by oligarchs. Sign up for the free Mother Jones Daily.


Last summer in the pages of Mother Jones, science writer Chris Mooney exposed ExxonMobil’s efforts to thwart climate change research, complete with details you may not have seen until they showed up in Al Gore’s An Inconvenient Truth, a year later.

Today Mooney’s New York Times bestseller, The Republican War on Science comes out in paperback. You can check out an excerpt on intelligent design and read the book’s new intro, online. And Mooney’s headed out on tour and may be coming to your town; he’s a prescient writer, not to be missed.

-N.B., you can also catch Chris on Mother Jones Radio September 17th.

Take the next step: Help us fight for the truth.

Investigative journalism, like the story you just read, takes time to do. Months of research. Weeks of writing, editing, and fact checking—and putting together the photography, art, video, and audio that tell the stories in a new way, illuminating new perspectives and voices.

We can afford to take that time because we don’t report to an oligarch or corporation with a special agenda. We report to you, and for you. That’s why we unabashedly pursue the truth and relentlessly shine a light into the darkness.

In this month’s Summer Membership Drive, we’ve got to raise $200,000 to support more crucial investigations. This is a pivotal moment in our nation, with democracy on the line, and we can only do this work because readers like you step up. Every donation, of any amount, makes a difference here. We cannot do this work without you.

So, we’re asking: Will you support independent journalism that demands those in power answer for their actions?
