‘Hockey stick’ climate scientist quietly vindicated for the umpteenth time | Grist

Two things we know with extremely high confidence:

Recent warming is unprecedented in magnitude, speed, and cause (so the temperature history looks like a hockey stick).
Michael Mann, the lead author on the original hockey stick paper, is one of the nation's top climatologists and a source of first-rate analysis.
...
So Mann isn't merely a competent researcher. He is one of the leading climate scientists in this country, which of course is precisely why the anti-science crowd has gone after him, much as they have with other leading climate scientists, including Hansen and Santer.

UNICEF NZ (UN Children's Fund) is calling on students, parents and teachers to reduce the amount of cars driven to school on Thursday 22 September to support a global action campaign against climate change.

Thousands of students are already set to take part in Take Action for Climate Change Day with UNICEF New Zealand.

Pupils all over New Zealand are seizing the chance to do something different: from taking the bus to school, to dressing up in blue to encourage awareness of the issues UNICEF is promoting. The event will bring more attention to the effects climate change is having on countries across the globe and remind students that small actions now will have long term results.

Schools that register for Take Action for Climate Change day will receive a registration pack including flyers and posters to promote the day, stickers, and a certificate for contributing to the fight against climate change.
