Trump’s War on Science & Climate: Experts Warn 🚨

As the Trump administration escalates its assault on both public health and the climate, two renowned scientists are sounding the alarm in a new book about the “dual threat to humankind that is now as grave as the prospect of nuclear annihilation at the height of the Cold War.”

Climate scientist Dr. Michael E. Mann and vaccine scientist Dr. Peter Hotez joined Mehdi Hasan in this episode of ‘Mehdi Unfiltered’ to discuss their new book, Science Under Siege: How to Fight the Five Most Powerful Forces that Threaten Our World, which breaks down how the disinformation war against science has intensified like never before.

Between them, the two acclaimed scientists have published nearly 1,000 papers. Their new book arrives amid an unprecedented assault on science in American politics—led by President Trump and his health secretary, Robert F. Kennedy Jr.
