Dr. Michael Mann is a climatologist and geophysicist and was the lead author of the paper that introduced the "Hockey Stick Graph" that shows the accelerated trend of global mean temperatures since the late 19th century. He has been the subject of repeated personal attacks and lawsuits initiated by climate change deniers, but he has bravely kept on with his work. He was a key contributor to the "Observed Climate Variability and Change" chapter of the International Panel on Climate Change Third Scientific Assessment Report.
In 2012, Mann published a book detailing the efforts of the denialist machine to swing public opinion away from the science of climate research, delaying societal changes that could mitigate the effects of global warming. The Hockey Stick and the Climate Wars: Dispatches From the Front Lines will be the subject of our show this Sunday. Greg Laden will interview Michael Mann.
