Manufacturing Dissent Since 1996
New interviews throughout the week

We have reached peak denialism, we just can't admit it to ourselves.

What are you gonna do when the ocean comes knocking at your door because the glaciers covering Greenland have retreated like a bad hairline? You gonna put a toupee on it? Huh? We can't stop it, because someone's making billions off it. Who? The people who decide whether or not to stop it!

Jeff Dorchen loses his hair, but gains the world, but realizes that world is in serious denial - about bills, life, the giant robots mashing our recycled garbage, the rising Arctic ocean, the retreating glaciers, our overlords in the financial services industry, our lack of power - and there isn't a toupee big enough to make ourselves feel any more powerful or any less bald.
