The tacit assumption behind their indignation — that only private actors have material interests, while public actors are by definition impartial seekers after truth — simply won’t wash. We strongly suspect that in, say, 100 years' time, when (we hope!) Ramanathan was born in Chennai (then Madras) in the state of Tamil Nadu in India, in 1944. Christy was born in Fresno, California, in 1951. He suggests that changes in the concentration of the gases could bring climate change. We need to push the reset button in our deliberations about how we should respond to climate change.[21]. Along with two American colleagues, Wigley articulated this critique in a highly controversial, widely discussed Nature Commentary piece published in 2008.[13]. J.A. She has received many research grants, been invited to give numerous public lectures, and participated in many workshops, discussion panels, and committees, both in the US and abroad. Mitchell is the recipient of numerous awards and other honors, including, in 2004, the Hans Oeschger Medal bestowed by the European Geosciences Union (EGU), in recognition of his “[p]ioneer research in using atmosphere-ocean general circulation models to understand natural and anthropogenic influences on climatic changes,”[6] and, in 2010, the Symons Gold Medal bestowed every other year by the Royal Meteorological Society. He holds a Ph.D. (1964) in meteorology from the University of Stockholm. Critics claimed these passages showed (1) the contempt in which mainstream scientists held those who disagreed with them; (2) behind-the-scenes efforts they were making to pull political strings with the UN-sponsored Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) and certain academic journals to ensure that skeptical viewpoints would be excluded; and, above all, collusion in downplaying or even falsifying data that did not support the mainstream view. In a long and productive career, he has held posts with Australia’s Commonwealth Bureau of Meteorology, the University of Waterloo in Canada, the University of East Anglia’s Climatic Research Unit (CRU) in the UK, and the National Center for Atmospheric Research (NCAR) in Boulder, Colorado, in the US. See also Category:Climatologists and List of authors of Climate Change 2007: The Physical Science Basis. 10. He has also been one of the most tireless defenders of the mainstream view on climate change in the popular and political arena; to this end, he has given government testimony, co-founded the RealClimate.org website, and written a great many essays, book reviews, op-ed pieces, and other articles aimed at a broad public. ”Climate Change and the Cosmic Ray Connection," in Richard C. Ragaini, ed., ”On climate response to changes in the cosmic ray flux and radiative budget,". Richard S. Lindzen, “The climate science isn’t settled” (Wall Street Journal website, November 30, 2009). In 1978, Mitchell became Head of what later became the Met Office’s Hadley Centre for Climate Prediction and Research. From his twin home bases in the UK and Germany, he has cooperated closely over the years with scientists in the US, Sweden, Norway, and other European countries. He is particularly known for two hypotheses, one advanced relatively early in his career, the other considerably later. While activists and politicians issue doomsday warnings, most scientists have a … Wigley is the author or co-author of more than 150 peer-reviewed journal articles and book chapters, as well as the author or editor of two books (see below). Shaviv first made a name for himself (see his 1998 and 2001 papers, below) with his research on the relationship between inhomogeneities in stellar atmospheres and the Eddington limit (the equilibrium point at which the centrifugal force of stellar radiation production equals the centripetal force of gravitation). Climate scientists know more about how the climate is changing and what it means for our future than anyone else, including journalists, world leaders and the general public. 18. This list of climate scientists contains famous or otherwise notable persons who have contributed to the study of climate science. In 2016, more than 150 of Australia’s climate scientists wrote an open letter to the then prime minister, Malcolm Turnbull, demanding immediate action on reducing emissions. [26] According to this model, the observed inverse correlation between surface temperature and cirrus cloud formation may operate as a negative feedback on infrared radiation (heat) build-up near the earth’s surface. They have concluded that almost all climate scientists support the idea of anthropogenic climate change. 3. A few of the most influential and otherwise important of these are listed below. This work enabled him to reconstruct the biogeochemical carbon cycle, as well as the influence of climate change on polar ice and ocean sediments, among other important results. Solomon was the third-most-highly cited geoscientist in the world during the decade of the 1990s according to Science Watch newsletter. ", ”Can we believe predictions of climate change?,", ”Towards evaluating cloud response to climate change using clustering technique identification of cloud regimes,", ”Extreme events due to human-induced climate change,", ”Variability in daily, zonal mean lower-stratospheric temperatures,", ”Precision global temperatures from satellites and urban warming effects of non-satellite data,", ”How accurate are satellite ’thermometers'?,", “Multidecadal changes in the vertical structure of the tropical troposphere,”, ”Assessing levels of uncertainty in recent temperature time series,". These emails were subsequently made public and found to contain passages that climate-change skeptics considered incriminating. Aixue Hu, et al., “Mitigation of short-lived climate pollutants slows sea-level rise," Nature Climate Change, 2014, 3: 730 — 734. [12] If correct, this idea would explain the apparent cessation of a well-established climatic pattern consisting of a periodic rising and falling of atmospheric CO2 concentrations, which, in turn, is correlated with features of the earth’s solar orbit (the Milankovitch cycle). He is currently Principal Research Fellow, advising the British government’s meteorological division (Met Office) on climate change, and is Visiting Professor at the University of Reading. 3 on p. 761. Finding herself denounced as a “climate change denier” and under intense pressure to recant her views, in 2017 Curry instead took early retirement from her job at Georgia Tech and left academia, citing the “craziness” of the present politicization of climate science. Several other similar investigations were launched in the UK, in the US, and internationally, none of which found sufficient evidence to support the critics' most-damning charges. Jones is currently Professorial Fellow in the School of Environmental Sciences at the University of East Anglia. She has taught at the University of Wisconsin, Purdue University, Pennsylvania State University, the University of Colorado at Boulder, and Georgia Institute of Technology (Georgia Tech). We also hold that what is sauce for the goose is sauce for the gander. Transcript. He holds a Ph.D. (1969) in marine geology from Columbia University. Other … Models for radiative and photochemical processes. He holds a Ph.D. in hydrology (1977) from the Department of Civil Engineering at the University of Newcastle upon Tyne. The criteria we have set for this article are quite strict. He holds a Ph.D. in theoretical physics (1973) from Queen’s University Belfast. four in physics, including mathematical/theoretical physics. Stephen B. Fels and Richard S. Lindzen, “The interaction of thermally excited gravity waves with mean flows,” Geophysical Fluid Dynamics, 1874, 6: 149 — 191. Colleagues are withdrawing their support, other colleagues are withdrawing from joint authorship etc. One of his most influential discoveries came relatively early in his career, in 1975, when he published a groundbreaking paper reporting his findings on the impact of chlorofluorcarbons (CFCs) as a greenhouse gas relative to carbon dioxide — by a factor of more than 10,000 to 1! Loosely defined, climate is the average weather at a distinct place that incorporates temperature, precipitation, and … It is the classical liberal one. Bengtsson was born in Trollhättan, Sweden, in 1935. That said, we do not feel under any obligation to give “equal time” to both sides. Few global trends have been as controversial as climate change and the Earth’s warming. Berger and L.D. Our position is simple. Before retiring, she was actively researching the evidence for a link between global warming and hurricane frequency and severity. Christy began voicing doubts about the growing climate-change consensus in the 2000s. He maintains, not only that anthropogenic greenhouse gases have played a smaller role in global warming than is usually believed, but also that the earth’s climate system is not nearly so sensitive as is usually assumed. 4. She holds a Ph.D. (1981) in chemistry from the University of California, Berkeley. Authors of seven climate consensus studies — including Naomi Oreskes, Peter Doran, William Anderegg, Bart Verheggen, Ed Maibach, J. Stuart Carlton, and John Cook — co-authored a paper that should settle the expert climate consensus question once and for all. Michael Wines, “Though Scorned by Colleagues, a Climate-Change Skeptic Is Unbowed” (New York Times website, July 15, 2014). He is perhaps best known for developing the Model for the Assessment of Greenhouse Gas Induced Climate Change (MAGICC), which is one of the most widely used and highly respected climate simulation models in existence. [11] If correct, this would mean that the creation of the Himalayas was a major causal factor in the Cenozoic Cooling phenomenon, a previously known climatic event which led to our most recent series of Ice Ages. Curry was born in 1953. Climate Change is the defining issue of our time and we are at a defining moment. Hansen’s own research on these questions began with his studies of Venus, culminating in his now widely accepted theory that that planet’s extremely high surface temperatures are due to a runaway greenhouse effect. Hansen is the author or co-author of more than 180 peer-reviewed journal articles and book chapters, as well as one book for a popular audience. Christy has not been shy about publicizing his views, making many of the same points in an op-ed piece he published with a colleague in 2014 in the Wall Street Journal. The list is compiled manually, so will not be complete, up to date, or comprehensive. In 2002, he returned to the US as a Visiting Researcher with Princeton University’s program in Atmospheric and Oceanic Sciences. Bengtsson is best known to the general public due to a dispute which arose in 2014 over a paper he and his colleagues had submitted to Environmental Research Letters, but which was rejected for publication for what Bengtsson believed to be “activist” reasons. However, Mann has been stalwart in defending the integrity of his methodology and the fundamental correctness of the graph, and many other climate scientists from around the world have sprung to his and the graph’s defense, as well. The list is compiled manually, so will not be complete, up to date, or comprehensive. Climate change is fueling wildfires. Lindzen was a Contributor to Chapter 4 of the 1995 Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) Second Assessment, and to Chapter 7 of the 2001 IPCC Working Group 1 (WG1). Climate change (or, as some insist on saying, global warming) is one of the most prominent scientific, political, and even — as many would claim — moral issues of our time. Effectively responding to the possible threats from a warmer climate is made very difficult by the deep uncertainties surrounding the risks both from the problem and the proposed solutions. Ruddiman is currently Professor Emeritus in the Department of Environmental Sciences at the University of Virginia. Moreover, Broecker is the discoverer of the global ocean conveyor belt, a deep-ocean circulation system driven by temperature and salinity, which connects all three of the world’s major oceans. We continue to read about it every day in the newspapers, in an unceasing stream of books pouring from the presses, and not least of all, online. He has been especially critical of the notion that the “science is settled.” In a 2009 Wall Street Journal op-ed, he maintained that the science is far from settled and that “[c]onfident predictions of catastrophe are unwarranted.”[27] For his trouble, Lindzen has suffered the usual brutal, ad hominem attacks from the climate-change establishment. He has received numerous awards, prizes, and other honors, including the American Physical Society’s Leo Szilard Award for Outstanding Promotion and Use of Physics for the Benefit of Society (2007) and NASA’s Distinguished Service Medal (2013). Because the truth is one thing, my knowledge of it is something else. Having retired in 2013 as Director of the NASA Goddard Institute for Space Studies, where he spent a career spanning some four and a half decades, Hansen is currently Adjunct Professor at Columbia University and Director of the Program on Climate Science, Awareness and Solutions in Columbia’s Earth Institute. Manabe was born in Ehime Prefecture on the island of Shikoku in Japan, in 1931. The scientific work for which Jones is best known among his peers is probably his construction of time series of the instrumental temperature record. Scientists still aren’t sure about this whole thing. 14. Climate scientists study the climate system, including the statistics of the Earth's temperature (top) and precipitation (bottom). He holds a Ph.D. (1987) in atmospheric science from the University of Illinois. 12. Jon Birger, “What if global-warming fears are overblown?” (Fortune website, May 14, 2009). Mann was born in Amherst, Massachusetts, in 1965. Apparently it has been transformed in recent years.[14]. Webster, “Climate science and the uncertainty monster,” Bulletin of the Meteorological Society, 2011, 175: 1667 — 1682. In 1999, she was awarded the National Medal of Science, and in 2008, she was elected a Fellow of the Royal Society of London (FRS). He is a Fellow of the American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS). In 2006, Ruddiman’s book, Plows, Plagues, and Petroleum (see below), won the Phi Beta Kappa award for the best book in general science. Shaviv is the author or co-author of more than 100 peer-reviewed journal articles or book chapters, of which some of the most important are listed below. The pattern is also believed to be linked to periodic cooling (glacial) and warming (interglacial) trends over the past three million years, which would have been expected to lead to a new glaciation about 8000 years ago, but did not (the “overdue-glaciation” phenomenon).
