Why we’re ‘perilously close’ to a global warming threshold Penn In the News PBS NewsHour Why we’re ‘perilously close’ to a global warming threshold Michael Mann of the School of Arts & Sciences says that a critical warming threshold will be passed in little more than a decade if society continues on its current course. EPA to review landmark 2009 finding that greenhouse gases are a danger to public health Penn In the News CBS MoneyWatch EPA to review landmark 2009 finding that greenhouse gases are a danger to public health According to Michael Mann of the School of Arts & Sciences, overwhelming scientific evidence indicates that climate change is the greatest threat faced today. EPA head says he’ll roll back dozens of environmental regulations, including rules on climate change Penn In the News Associated Press EPA head says he’ll roll back dozens of environmental regulations, including rules on climate change Michael Mann of the School of Arts & Sciences says that the EPA’s recent actions are the latest form of Republican climate denial. Can surface fractures on Earth, Mars, and Europa predict habitability on other planets?

Geophysicist Douglas Jerolmack has used the mathematical framework developed for understanding fracture patterns on Earth to survey two-dimensional fracture networks across the solar system, which could offer insights into detecting potentially habitable environments on other planets. The U.S. is freezing and La Nina usually eases warming. Earth just set another heat record anyway Penn In the News Associated Press The U.S. is freezing and La Nina usually eases warming. Earth just set another heat record anyway Michael Mann of the School of Arts & Sciences says that global temperature increases are still within what climate models forecast.
