		Based on a real-life story of a tobacco company research scientist (Russell Crowe) and the ramifications of his decision to disclose industry secrets to the American public on an episode of 60 Minutes, it was a moody, intense affair that many critics touted as one of the year's best films.
		Mann was back in the Academy Award hunt two year's later with Ali, a biopic of the beloved boxer Muhammad Ali that focused on both his athletic accomplishments and his political battles.

	Michael Mann (scientist) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Michael Mann is a well-known climatologist, author of more than 80 peer-reviewed journal publications.
		Mann's recent work has been on modelling El Niño, and he has warned that "we are already committed to 50 to 100 years of global warming and several centuries of sea level rise" and that reduction in fossil fuel emissions is required to slow the process down to a level that can be coped with.

	The Man Behind the Hockey Stick
		His work has gained wide acceptance among scientists, who point to the chart as the most elegant symbol of human-induced climate change, and was recently showcased in the 2001 IPCC Assessment on Climate Change, the most wide-ranging compilation of climate change science to date.
		Mann and eight other climatologists have created a new website, www.realclimate.org, devoted to educating the public on the intricacies of the evolving debate over global warming, as well as to debunking the work of industry-funded pseudo-scientists.
		Mann, who in 2002 was named one of 50 leading visionaries in science and technology by Scientific American, recently spoke by phone with Mother Jones.

	RealClimate » Michael Crichton’s State of Confusion L’état de confusion de Michael Crichton
		Michael Crichton's new novel "State of Fear" is about a self-important NGO hyping the science of the global warming to further the ends of evil eco-terrorists.
		Scientists rightly have to worry about false positives - claiming something (like global warming) is happening, when it is not, or their reputation might be harmed (and no one will believe them when they call wolf next time).
		Michael Crichton's guess of ~0.8 degrees Celsius for the 21st century is far, far better than the IPCC projections of 1.5 to 5.8 degrees Celsius (from 1990 to 2100).

	Michael Mann
		Mann returned to the US in the early '70s and directed a documentary called 17 Days Down the Line, a story about a Newsweek correspondent rediscovering his native land after five years away, a story very similar to Mann's own at the time.
		Mann documents Ali's political struggles: his decision to change his slave name from Cassius Clay to Muhammad Ali, his conversion to the Nation of Islam, his responses to the assassinations of Malcolm X and Martin Luther King, and his conscientious objection.
		Watching a Michael Mann film is like being taken on a fantastic journey, in which you will be engaged with the poetics of the cinema in the grandest of possible ways.

	The Insider
		Mann does not avoid this element but he does aim his direction more at corporate employee suppression, the impact that their testimony may have on society, the importance of the freedom of speech, how the media can be manipulated and the influence on government and state sector lobbying.
		Mann employs a wide range of artists in his general montage--the ones I noticed outright were Lisa Gerrard, Einsturzende Neubauten, and Massive Attack in the closing scene in a trip-hop pulse that fits the whole wrap up perfectly.
		Mann succeeds at creating a psychological, mood film that is quite riveting to me. I really don't want to get long-winded about all the wonderful, wonderful scenes (hotel room, golf range, CBS offices, outside Wigand's house at night, the long parade of cars going to the deposition, Wigand's return from the deposition, on and on...).

	The Insider/In Print: Maximum Russell Crowe
		Michael Mann’s absorbing new film, “The Insider,” is a welcome throwback both to the great old inside-journalism movies of the ’30s and to the devastating muckraking-dramas that were the hallmark of Sidney Lumet in the ’70s (“Prince of the City,” “Serpico”).
		Michael Mann (``The Last of the Mohicans,'' ``Heat''), who by now must be counted among the important contemporary filmmakers, directs the picture with a vigorousness that is not overly obtrusive.
		Mann's is a world in which even the critical exchange of faxes carries the dramatic intensity of a cliffhanger and the ambient techno score takes on the weight of orchestral movements.

		Mann also stated that the cooling trend from 1940-1970 was caused by the release of aerosols into the atmosphere.
		Mann first stated that her situation is similar to the debate regarding teaching evolution: one side has facts on its side (evolution theorists and AGW), and the other side has "absolutely no scientific basis" (I believe these were his exact words).
		He [Mann] spoke about solar radiation, and stated that the "mini ice age" was a result of solar radiation changes, and that this data is available through tracking of sunspots, there being data going back to the early 17th century thanks to Galileo and his successors.

		Both scientists have collaborated in the past with the George C. Marshall Institute, an organization skeptical of much climate-change science that received $90,000 from ExxonMobil in 2002, the last year for which records are currently available.
		Until recently, Soon was a senior scientist with the institute and received a small stipend for his work, according to President William O'Keefe, and Legates has written a paper and book chapter for the group.
		At Inhofe's hearing, Mann defended the conclusions of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC), a UN body whose rigorously peer-reviewed work -- a kind of gold standard of climate science -- relies on the contributions of some 2,000 global scientists.

		Its chairman (Michael Gambon) has fired Wigand for questioning some of their potentially harmful research tactics and business routines-but not before flmailing him into signing a strict confidentiality agreement that threatens his much needed severance package currently providing for his wife and their two young girls.
		Michael Mann is the film's director, who also directed the 1995 thriller "Heat" starring Val Kilmer, Robert De Niro, and Al Pacino.
		Michael Mann is one of few directors who has such an in-depth understanding of both the subject of his film and the nature of that subject, that he is able to portray a realism that is nearly impossible to match.

	RealClimate » On Yet Another False Claim by McIntyre and McKitrick
		McIntyre and McKitrick (MM), in one of their many false claims regarding the Mann et al (MBH98) temperature reconstruction, assert that the "Hockey Stick" shape of the reconstruction is an artifact of the "non-centered" Principal Components Analysis (PCA) convention used by MBH98 in representing the North American International Tree Ring Data Bank (ITRDB) data series.
		These claims were discredited in the response provided by Mann and coworkers to the Nature editor and reviewers, which presumably formed the primary basis for the rejection of the MM comment.
		In their commentary on the paper, Briffa and Osborn note that the results may not generalize to the actual world, where the forced variability may be much smaller than in the GKSS simulation.

		Mannâs results appeared to show a spike in recent temperatures that was unprecedented in the last thousand years.
		Mannâs work was initially criticized because his graph didn't show the well-known Medieval Warm Period, when temperatures were warmer than they are today, or the Little Ice Age, when they were colder than today.
		Mannâs work has been dismissed as âphonyâ and ârubbishâ by climate scientists around the world who subscribe to global warming.

		Since I am a sociologist, not a natural scientist, I look not for shapes as John Polanyi was looking for, but for patterns or connections, trying to find some overall pattern, however imperfect and provisional in the enormous mess that is human society.
		Of course, this conflict between the sexes is not the only conflict we are seeing today, but it is a conflict that has been with us for a long time and I believe that it is a conflict that we should definitely pay attention to in the 21st century.

	New Scientist Breaking News - Models may underestimate climate swings (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-29)
		While some scientists warn that their results imply climate changes in the future could be more dramatic than predicted, others argue that their methods are flawed.
		They used a statistical method that other scientists, including Michael Mann at the University of Virginia in Charlottesville, Virginia, have employed.
		But Mann says the study is flawed, because the simulation the team uses churns out larger changes in climate than most scientists think are reasonable, putting the method to a more stringent test than is fair.

	[No title]
		First, contrary to Dr. Crichton’s assertion, it is a matter of record that the initial paper by Mann et al., which appeared in the highly respected scientific journal Nature in 1998, did undergo thorough peer review prior to its publication.
		While the data and methodologies are typically the only requisites for public access, Mann and colleagues have also made their computer program available.
		There appears, moreover, to be controversy about the type of peer review undertaken on the paper by McIntyre and McKitrick before its publication in the magazine Energy and Environment, as well as whether the alleged “errors” that they report are in fact real, and indeed whether the work of McIntyre and McKitrick is itself replicable.

		Mann didn't insist that Crowe had to look like Wigand, but the actor reckons you don't play Napoleon at 6'7".

		In recent years a vocal minority of nonbelievers, including novelist Michael Crichton (see “Pulp Fiction,” May-June 2005), have engaged in a “desperate attempt to cloud the consensus on climate change,” says Mann, the director for the Earth System Science Center at Pennsylvania State University.
