Abstract
Michael Mann will review the scientific evidence on climate change, the reasons why we should care, and the often absurd efforts undertaken by special interests and partisan political figures to confuse the public, attack the science and scientists, and deny that the problem even exists. Despite the monumental nature of the challenge we face, particularly after the Paris Agreement, Prof. Mann will explain why he’s cautiously optimistic that reason and science will prevail in the greatest battle that human civilization has possibly ever faced - the battle to avert catastrophic and irreversible climate change impacts.Event organized by Stefano Caserini and Renato Casagrandi (www.iat.polimi.it) with the support of Campus Sostenibile, RSE- Ricerca sul Sistema Energetico, Fondazione Politecnico, CMCC, Radio Popolare, Climate-Lab and the Italian Association of Environmental and Land Planning Engineers
