This climate scientist has tried really hard to get a date

Guardian: Seth Burgess has, literally, travelled to the ends of the Earth to find a date. Along the way he has endured attacks of giant flesh-eating bee-flies, paddled a raft 60 miles in driving Siberian rain, braved volcanoes in Alaska, and inhaled polluted air in China for weeks on end, all the while hauling pounds of rocks. And all in the name of Science. The date he seeks plays extremely hard to get. In Siberia, Seth and his colleagues whacked off rocks from cliffs in dozens of mosquito-infested...
Climate deniers attack NASA scientist dying cancer

Grist: Readers of The New York Times were treated to a deeply touching essay this week by Piers Sellers, a NASA astronaut and climate scientist who was recently diagnosed with Stage 4 pancreatic cancer. Sellers wrote: This diagnosis puts me in an interesting position. Ive spent much of my professional life thinking about the science of climate change, which is best viewed through a multidecadal lens. At some level I was sure that, even at my present age of 60, I would live to see the most critical part...

Climate scientist Michael Mann: Exxon story 'confirmed things we long suspected'

InsideClimate: Climate scientist Michael Mann has spent much of his career in the crosshairs of climate denialists. A professor of meteorology and director of the Earth System Science Center at Pennsylvania State University, Mann is best known for helping to develop the famous "hockey stick" graph, which reconstructed 1,000 years of global temperature data and showed the abrupt warming of the late 20th century. Mann, who studied theoretical physics before taking up climate research, published the paper explaining...

The most pessimistic climate change scientist has sudden change of heart

Independent: The world has a better chance of saving itself from catastrophic global warming now than at any time over the past two decades, according to the scientist behind some of the most alarming predictions ever made for the planets future. Johan Rockström shocked environmentalists in 2009 when he identified nine categories of Nature that were essential for life as we know it, and warned that we had already crossed into dangerous territory on three of them including climate change. Rockström, an...
Boulder scientist ties severity Colorado's 2013 flood climate change

Daily Camera: The severe effects of the flooding across Colorado's northern Front Range in September 2013 and other recent extreme weather events likely were enhanced by human-caused global warming, according to a paper published Monday on which a Boulder scientist is the lead author. Severe storm events always have formed, and will continue to do so, out of the natural chaos of global weather. But the argument advanced by Kevin Trenberth, distinguished senior scientist at the National Center for Atmospheric...
