Speech Preaching for “The End of Climate Change Debate” by Stephen Heins
There are several ways to understand the rhetoric of article’s reporting: I look at the last paragraph to check the point of piece, which organization (s) are mentioned, and most importantly, the last person quoted.
In this case, I have been following Michael Mann for a long time, so if he is quoted, I know that climate change will be threatening.

“The Inflation Reduction Act isn’t perfect, Mann says. But rather than carping on the limitations, critics should take the win and encourage people to vote in the US midterm elections in November, he adds. Crucial seats in the US Senate and House of Representatives will be up for grabs. “My hope is that there will be an even larger majority of climate-forward legislators in Congress after the midterm elections — a large enough majority that we can pass legislation with more stringent measures.”

Second, I was there during Dr. Michael Mann’s testimony on March 29, 2017 in front of the Committee of Science, Space, and Technology.
Mann was at his bullying, uncivil, and name-calling best. In fact, during the question and answer period, Mann denied calling fellow panelist Dr. Judith Curry a “denier” in an earlier interviews he gave. In response, Dr. Curry dryly comment Mann should read his own remarks.
Clearly, Penn State University’s Professor Michael Mann has no sense of humor, nor does he have a sense of irony and neither does Naomi Oreskes.
Speaking at the Annual of University of Michigan Event, Speech Award Winner Mann gave a speech preaching for “The End of Climate Change Debate,” after Michigan’s President Mark Schlissel introduced guest speaker Michael Mann by saying that the University of Michigan will always be “an inalienable forum for discovery, debate, and discussion.”
Mann has gone on to win the2019 “Ethics Award” at Villanova, PSU’s 2019 “Tyler Prize for the Environment,” and elected to U.S. National Academy of Science in 2020
