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.

BEFORE YOU CLICK AWAY!

“Lying.” “Disgusting.” “Scum.” “Slime.” “Corrupt.” “Enemy of the people.” Donald Trump has always made clear what he thinks of journalists. And it’s plain now that his administration intends to do everything it can to stop journalists from reporting things they don’t like—which is most things that are true.

No one gets to tell Mother Jones what to publish or not publish, because no one owns our fiercely independent newsroom. But that also means we need to directly raise the resources it takes to keep our journalism alive. There’s only one way for that to happen, and it’s readers like you stepping up. Please help with a donation today if you can—even a few bucks will make a real difference. A monthly gift would be incredible.
