An Interview with Michael E. Mann: Fighting for Science Against Climate Change Deniers’ Propaganda

Abstract

There are two critical players in the all-important game of climate change communications: journalists and scientists. In this interview, scientist Michael Mann, developer of the ‘hockey stick graph’ which revealed the dramatic rise in global temperatures from 1900, discusses the severity of the current climate crisis and looks at how scientists and media practitioners can more effectively combat climate change denialism. Mann also explains his theory, posited in his new book, of geoengineering as a possible solution to climate change.
