Beyond the Hockey Stick: Climate Lessons from The Common Era (University of Southampton, UK)

Professor Michael E. Mann will explore how paleoclimate records and climate models of the past two millennia provide key insights into human-caused climate change. Over two decades ago, he and his co-authors published the iconic “Hockey Stick” curve, a powerful visualisation of unprecedented modern warming. This lecture will reveal how past climate history can help us understand the growing impact of human influence against natural variability.

Join us before the lecture for coffee at 14:30 and a reception after at 16:00
