The BOB体育登录网址_欧宝体育官网平台-APP|下载 Marine and Maritime Institute (SMMI) is delighted to host two special lectures by acclaimed climate scientist Professor Michael E. Mann – Presidential Distinguished Professor at the University of Pennsylvania and leading voice in climate research and policy.

On Tuesday 6 May 2025 at 15:00, Professor Mann will deliver Beyond the Hockey Stick at the Charnock Lecture Theatre, National Oceanography Centre.

This lecture explores how paleoclimate records and climate modelling across the past two millennia help reveal the unprecedented scale of modern human-caused warming. Revisiting the ground-breaking “Hockey Stick” graph he co-authored over two decades ago, Professor Mann will reflect on the lessons of climate history and what they tell us about our current trajectory.

On Wednesday 7 May at 15:00, he will present Science Under Siege at Turner Sims Concert Hall, Highfield Campus.

This powerful talk examines the forces behind today’s anti-science movement—what Mann calls the “six P’s”: plutocrats, politicians, polluters, petrostates, propagandists, and press. Drawing on case studies from climate denial to BOB体育登录网址_欧宝体育官网平台-APP|下载 misinformation, he will map out the funding, strategies, and stakes behind science disinformation—and offer a roadmap for resistance.
