NCSE is pleased to congratulate Michael E. Mann of the University of Pennsylvania, a former member of NCSE's board of directors, on receiving a Planet Earth Award for 2025 from the Alliance of World Scientists, which writes:
A leading climate scientist, Mann is known for his "hockey stick" graph showing the sharp rise in global temperatures over the past century. His work has advanced understanding of human-induced climate change and the need for action to mitigate its effects. He has received numerous honors, including the Award for Public Engagement with Science and the Tyler Prize for Environmental Achievement. In 2020, he was elected to the U.S. National Academy of Sciences, and in 2024, to the Royal Society. His upcoming book, Science Under Siege, is co-authored with Peter Hotez.
The Planet Earth Award is given to "individuals who champion life on Earth" and "demonstrate exceptional creativity or contributions in their work in science or science-based advocacy with the public, policymakers, or other groups seeking solutions to environmental challenges."
