"The Hockey Stick and the Climate Wars"

"The Hockey Stick and the Climate Wars" is a book by climate scientist Michael E. Mann, discussing his research on global warming, particularly a graph resembling a hockey stick that shows a sharp rise in temperatures over the last century. This visualization challenges traditional views of climate variability. Mann details the backlash he faced from skeptics and industries resistant to climate science. The book emphasizes the importance of data in understanding climate change and argues for the urgent need to address environmental issues despite political and economic pressures against scientific findings.
