Michael Mann: Confronting the Climate Change Challenge - Conversations from Penn State - YouTube
Michael Mann was a member of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change, the team of scientists that shared the 2007 Nobel Peace Prize with Al Gore. Mann discusses his work with the panel, his current outlook on the future of the planet, and his new book, The Hockey Stick and the Climate Wars.
Climate change contrarians have long attacked my research. In the late 1990s, my colleagues and I published a paper that showed modern warming is unique in at least the past thousand years. Since then, multiple studies have confirmed and extended our findings. Despite the obvious reality that the world is getting warmer, Rep. Joe Barton (R-Texas) and Sen. James Inhofe (R-Oklahoma), among the largest recipients of fossil fuel money in the Congress, have both launched partisan investigations into my work. As has Attorney General Ken Cuccinelli of Virginia, another recipient of oil company largesse.
...It’s unfortunate that people who are ideologically opposed to dealing with climate change feel entitled to not only attack people like me and Steve Schneider for doing our jobs, but to attack us again and again when we try to set the record straight. We have as much right to speak out as any citizen. But as scientists, we have a special duty to make distinctions between our scientific judgment and our opinions as citizens. Unfortunately, the people who choose to attack us are often so blinded by their ideology, they can’t tell the difference between science and political opinion.
It’s time for us to have a grown up debate about climate change in this country. And attacks on scientists should have no place in it.

@Angoos Depends on what that means. There is no scientific debate about the reality of human-caused #climatechange.

Climate change is a CO2 death warrent to billions of children; “global warming is the greatest threat to the planet.” –Earth Hour
Yet millions in the global scientific community refuse to join the dozens of climate change protesters and act like its the end of the planet (a threat). All despite the fact that these same people in the global scientific community have condemned their own children to the greenhouse gas ovens. This is proof climate change was exaggerated and exaggerated science trumps consensus science.
REAL planet lovers are overjoyed and happy and glad and thankful the crisis wasn’t real after all.
Most of the US and Canadian rust belt cities have not had a smog day in 6 years, only constant “Alerts” that are predictions, not measurements of pollution. Note: ALL pollution does not stay in the air FOREVER.
Upon settlement, the polar bear was indigenous to as far south as Minnesota but called the yellow bear because it retained its summer coat longer, but still the same bear.
Obama has not mentioned any climate crisis in his last two state of the unions.
Occupywallstreet’s demands do not include climate change…………bank funded and corporate run CARBON TRADING STOCK markets.
Almost all research into climate change is into "effects" not causes.
Science made environmentalism necessary in the first place after poisoning the planet with the pesticides they developed and denied for decades as being toxic.
Exaggerating is not a crime; it’s called the perfect crime.
Every single scientist has a special and unique and personal opinion of climate change and it’s still called scientific consensus?
History shows that today’s climate change crisis believer, is tomorrow’s end of the world freak.
