I will briefly introduce you to Michael Mann who will receive the title of Doctor Honoris Causa of UCLouvain on the 28th of April 2022 (https://www.uclouvain.be/DHC2022). I will summarize his scientific achievements and his central involvement in fighting disinformation campaigns by climate denialists since the 2000s. I will also give a short summary of his books and an outlook on the activities that will take place before the event, on the 26th, 27th and 28th of April. All welcome!
