Former Minnesota Attorney General and environmental attorney Barbara Freese stared corporate denial in the face when cross-examining coal industry witnesses over a decade ago who were disputing the science of climate change. The experience inspired her to research all of the damage that corporate denial had caused in recent years. The resulting book, “Industrial-Strength Denial: Eight Stories of Corporations Defending the Indefensible, from the Slave Trade to Climate Change” is a sobering look at the dynamics of delusion and public deception. Join us for a conversation with Barbara Freese on the dangers of misinformation at the hands of powerful companies in this installment of Leonard Lopate at Large on WBAI.
