New Video: Mann and Rahmstorf on IPCC 2013
November 5, 2013
In Reykjavik last month, I had the chance to interview Mike Mann and Stefan Rahmstorf at length. Both are former IPCC authors, Mann is Professor of Geosciences at Penn State U, where he is Director of the Earth System Science Center, and is well known for his paleo-temperature reconstruction, the famous “Hockey Stick” graph.
Dr. Stefan Rahmstorf is an Oceanographer at Potsdam University in Germany. Both men are founders of the “RealClimate” blog.
I was able to include a lot of footage shot with the help of Phil Coates, an actual professional with a camera, meaning – good lighting, and good sound. The difference in quality is shocking, in a good way. Special thanks is also due to Gudni Elisson, organizer of the Earth 101 event which brought us all together in Iceland.
Also, this is the first of what I hope will be many videos produced with support from the University of Lethbridge, Alberta, and the Social Science and Humanities Research Council of Canada.
For anyone that wants a quick, credible intro to what’s in the new report – this should get them started.

32000 Scientists
January 9, 2010
32,000 leading scientists signed a petition against global warming?
Is that really true? Well, no…
But to get to the bottom of this crock, we’ll have to go back in history, and meet someone who really was, at one time, a leading scientist.
Climate Denial Crock of the Week/1998 Revisited
September 7, 2009
One of the enduring myths of climate denialism is that global warming stopped sometime in the last decade. I see it in the blaring headlines of pseudoscience websites, in comments on my videos, even some of our most “distinguished” journalists have been taken in.
