Description
A central figure in the controversy over human-caused climate change has been "The Hockey Stick," an easy-to-understand graph that depicts changes in Earth's temperature back to 1000 AD. The Hockey Stick is used as a vehicle for exploring broader issues regarding the role of skepticism in science, the relationship between science and politics, and the dangers that arise when special interests and those who do their bidding attempt to skew the discourse over policy-relevant areas of science.
