Climate scientist Michael Mann—best known as the lead author of the paper that charted the average global temperature over the last 500 years, also called the hockey stick graph—joined Penn as the Presidential Distinguished Professor of Earth and Environmental Science and the Director of the Center for Science, Sustainability and the Media this year. In September, he spoke with Penn’s OMNIA Magazine about this summer's unprecedented weather events and why there's still time to take action.
