Climate scientist Michael Mann awarded $1 million in damages.

Mann sued conservative writers 12 years ago after they compared his work to a convicted child molester.

Mann rose to fame for a graph that was dubbed the "hockey stick" for its dramatic illustration of a warming planet.

"It's a good day for us," Mann says after the verdict.
