"Much of my optimism comes from you folks in the front few rows, high school students who are now speaking out and demanding that those in positions of authority act on our behalf and not the special interests that may be funding their campaigns.”
-- Climate scientist Dr. Michael Mann
Michael E. Mann was a lead author on the “Observed Climate Variability and Change” chapter of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change’s Third Scientific Assessment Report in 2001 and was the organizing committee chair for the National Academy of Sciences’ Frontiers of Science in 2003.
