This is the best job I’ve ever heard a radio interviewer do in giving a climate scientist room to actually refute nonsense climate denial canards. Mike Smerconish occupies a unique middle ground among talk radio jocks, and is clearly on the side of science and fact. At the end, he gets Dr. Mann to commit to coming back to answer still more questions that readers are invited to send in. Great job!!
I was unable to upload the entire interview, had to cut out the first 6 minutes or so due to YouTube constraints. The entire piece is here.
CBC radio (Canada) also interviewed him today. See: http://www.cbc.ca/thecurrent/episode/2012/03/14/climate-activist-michael-mann/
Was there any live question from listeners?
This morning, Prof. Mann spoke to CBC radio. A nearly half hour interview – very good.

Dr. Mann does a good job here- he needed perhaps to give more urgency to the problems we are facing- more clarity- but still not bad.
Well, well, well…. it turns out that one of Dr. Mann’s most vocal amazon.com “1-star reviewers” is a 9/11-truther!

I am *shocked*, I tell you, just **shocked** to discover this!
Should follow up with this — the 9/11-truther isn’t just any “1-star” reviewer; he’s the most highly rated “1-star” reviewer.
That’s right — The most popular and highest rated critic of Dr. Mann’s book over at amazon.com is a 9/11-truther!
Here is also another excellent interview…
