Trump and the madhouse effect






Mann and Toles' novel collaborative book, "The Madhouse Effect: How Climate Change Denial is Threatening Our Planet, Destroying Our Politics, & Driving Us Crazy," discusses how climate change deniers maintain their stance despite overwhelming scientific evidence of human-caused climate change. Both Mann and Toles have long been committed to communicating with the public about climate change denial and the need to take action to combat climate change. Their book provides readers with strategies for combatting arguments that refuse to accept scientific evidence.
Tom Toles is the editorial cartoonist for The Post and writes the Tom Toles blog. He joined the newspaper in 2002, after 19 years as the cartoonist for the Buffalo News and nine years with the Buffalo Courier-Express. He has also produced a syndicated comic strip, "Curious Avenue," and a syndicated panel, "Randolph Itch, 2 a.m." His cartoons are collected in six books, and he is the author of a children's book, "My School Is Worse Than Yours." While at The Post, Toles has received the 2011 Herblock Award, the National Headliners Award, The Week magazine's "cartoonist of the year" award, the Overseas Press Club Thomas Nast Award, the National Cartoonist Society's "cartoonist of the year" award, the John Fischetti Award, and the H.L. Mencken Free Press Award. He won the Pulitzer Prize for Editorial Cartooning in 1990.
