Prominent paleoclimatologist Michael Mann, Ph.D., will deliver a free public talk about global warming’s impact on today’s world as part of the second Annual Carolina Climate Change Seminar at UNC. The lecture will be on Nov. 8 at 8 p.m. in the Carroll Hall Auditorium.
Mann’s famous “hockey stick graph,” a reconstruction of the climate change patterns of the Northern Hemisphere over the past millennium, gives unprecedented evidence to support global warming and has sparked fervent debates among politicians in Washington D.C. His talk is titled, “Global Climate Change: The Impacts, Urgency, and Likely Consequences to Humanity.”
Mann directs the Earth Systems Science Center of Pennsylvania State University. Scientific American magazine has recognized Mann as one of 50 leading visionaries in science and technology.
Mann is a lead author on the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change third scientific assessment report and has testified before the U.S. Senate about global warming. He also co-founded the Web site RealClimate.org.
The Carolina Climate Change Seminar is sponsored by the departments of geological sciences and marine sciences, the Institute for the Environment and the College of Arts and Sciences.
