Description:

The mean annual temperature of the Earth is rising--or it isn't. AIDS requires the presence of the HIV virus--or it doesn't. Humans and dinosaurs lived on Earth at the same time--or they didn't. How and why do matters of verifiable fact become matters of "debate," and what role does the Internet play in this trend? What might this mean for "democracy"?
