climate change is a fact. and when our children's children look us in the eye and ask if we did all we could to leave them a safer, more stable world with new sources of energy, i want us to be able to say yes, we did. [applause] >> as the obama administration renews its commitment to act, the debate over climate change remains polarized. climate scientist michael mann is a central figure in that debate. he was one of the scientists behind the development of the controversial hockey stick chart, which showed how temperature in the late twentieth century was exceptionally warm compared to the previous 900 years. this triggered a tax on dr. mann and the science behind his work, all documented in his book "the hockey stick and the climate wars." michael mann, you write that in mid 1990s, scientists were able to begin to connect the dots on climate change. could you elaborate? >> we understood the basic science of the greenhouse effect nearly two centuries ago. joseph fourier, the same guy who discovered the law o

, change at different rates. if you come out of the academy you're going to be on the streets of a town as a cop for 20 years, but the mayor has to run for re-election every four years. >> sure, there is a number of different factors driving the slow training in institutions. across the united states in city council blackhawks are grossly under represented. only 4% of city council members nationwide are african-american. why does it move so slowly in a place like ferguson and in other places? you have a bunch of inertia. you have the existing power structure who have no desire to change things. then you've got a system that's fairly rigged against minorities. so in ferguson, and in most municipalities in the united states, the elections don't coincide the presidential races. so you get low turn out and it's emphasi especially skewed turnout. and we can blame african-americans for that, but the underlying think is that blacks are not unique or different. turn out is a function of soci socio-economic status. poor b

change. there will have the same effects. that is, as we take it to a moving that it amounted so it is back to the natural stand. that is also the strategy we need to use for climate change. they're intertwined. i would like to point out that over the past decade when has that meant in our forest? well, in ten years the first fire was the tool box fire. we lost 100,000 acres. and then in 2012 we had a fire that burned 93,000 acres. and less than a decade we have now lost 24 percent of the free -- fremont national forest. if we keep this rate up because fires are getting more intense because of the climate or warmer climate change. if we keep this up we will loose in three decades our entire forest, and i think that is a real and severe threat. it is not only a threat to our industry in timbre but a threat to our agricultural industry, too. we average ten to 20 percent moisture during the winter. summers are hot and dry normally without that snowpack we do not have agriculture, irrigation wate

climate changes because climate has always changed. droughts that happened in the past and are likely to occur again with similar frequencies and intensities. thus, i believe preparation for their return is a better strategy than trying in vain to mitigate them through draconian carbon dioxide emission control policies such as those proposed only yesterday. however, i've become increasingly concerned how this scientific debate is being corrupted. in my 2003 senate testimony regarding a hockey stick, lamented that a healthy side of the debate was being compromised. an attack had been made on the scientific process. editors at two journal was harassed. one was threatened with a organized boycott by scientists over an article that was published. the senior editor barred two science ties from future publication in the journal solely because of their position on climate change. without a hearing and without an accusation of fraud or plagiarism. i would like to report things have become better. they haven't. in 2009, climategate shed light h

you can change the environment. it turns out, this is something very new that is being worked on in the last few years. what's called a microenvironment, a healthy cells that surround a tumor actually support the tumor. you know, there are blood cells. the blood vessels that are attractive to a solid tumor. to nourish it. there is an oxygen core environment in the middle of the tumor that is normally not a hospitable place, but some of cancer cells have figured out how to survive there. so there's this old microenvironment, that if you can when they put a microenvironment we might be able to stop tumors from growing. so to get back to your original question about the war on cancer, we've done a lot in terms of early detection. we really haven't made much progress and prevention, i would say, when i think about the 1970s versus not in terms of sunbathing, smoking, various dietary issues, we've made progress in terms of understanding the lifestyle changes we can make with respect to prevention. we have done a lot in t

the story didn't change. the trajectory of the character didn't change. that all stayed the same. if anything it was -- there were a couple of extra scenes written between ryan and larry for the character which i was grateful for. the story didn't change. it just added to it. what does change dramatically is in the play version especially but in the movie to a degree the character i play, tommy, he has a real -- he can have a real light touch with some sticky situations and some inter-fighting between people that he can find the way out of. a lot of times in the play and sometimes in the movie they end up in humorous moments because of that. in the play you had a visceral reaction from the audience when they were laughing. that was different to know somewhere deep inside you this might be a moment of levity for a movie-going audience, but we weren't doealing with it in the here and there. that was different. the other thing sounds basic. different people playing the different roles in the movie changed -- again, not the story, but it changed your approach and your replies to that

which was not supposed to be a dramatic change and was not, but it was definitely a change. and president bush, i think, benefited by having been in the reagan administration and very much understanding of what their observations and expectations were, but he also had the benefit of people who were out, who had been observing and had very different expectations and how to deal with them. and i think that dynamic is pretty interesting. but i am ready for paul harvey's rest of the story, and so i want this to be a productive effort rather than destructive, and i would like to see the book published, and i think that it will have appeal far beyond the academic community. and i also would remind you that president bush, number 41, was truly remarkable in that he -- not only did he have to deal with the things that jeff talked about, that we all can remember from the foreign policy front, but he also got the americans with disability bill passed, the clean air amendment passed negotiated the first agreement to reduce ozone depleting gases. he took tremendous effort to make change

coming after that, the rules change. by 1968, there could no longer be discrimination in the democratic party primary process. it had a big impact. in 1965, it was the pastor of the voting acts right, which helped alleviate a lot of those laws that prevented lakhs from voting. much of the national attention in history is given to freedom summer, 1965, which the march in selma and the passage of the voting rights act. too often people think it is the end of the story. in mississippi, the real story almost gens after that. it is after the laws have been passed, after you have the voting's right act, after the civil rights act that bans segregation, now what? what does that mean? how will the loss play out in local communities? in every county in mississippi, you have the question -- ok. african-americans have the right to vote. who will be elected? there was a bit of rearguard action that try to limit black voting rights. there was an effort to redraw the state legislative districts to limit black power. there is a lot tha
