Links to a LA Times opinion piece and a NY Times article by Justin Gillis are available on my web site, or directly below:
Please see op-ed in today's LA Times (Pipeline to Disaster).
Thanks for all the well wishes in response to the article in this week's NY Times re my leaving the government (Climate Maverick to Quit NASA (pdf)). My aim in "retiring" is to have more time to focus on science, to try to make the science clearer to the public, and to connect the dots all the way to policy implications. The article raises some important science issues that I will clarify in my next post.

A short scientific story, Doubling Down on Our Faustian Bargain (pdf), is available here and on my web site. It contains the main points in a paper just published in Environmental Research Letters. It is a sorrowful tale of missing climate data, which makes quantification of human-made climate change far more difficult than it needed to be -- maybe enough to make one look for new work.

"Effective action to address climate change requires bi-partisan support. The charts that I used in an "on-the-record" discussion with Grover Norquist just prior to his regular "Wednesday" meeting, preceded by my later response to a presentation by Pat Michaels at the same "on-the-record" meeting, are available from my web site or directly here (pdf). I also presented at the regular Wednesday meeting. I was encouraged by the conservative participants who came up to me after the meeting and thanked me for attending and presenting to them."

"Public Perception of Climate Change: the New Climate Dice
A paper Perception of Climate Change will be published next week in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences and is available to reporters via PNAS; stories are embargoed until 3 PM Monday 6 August. This is a paper submitted earlier this year under the title "Public Perception of Climate Change: The New Climate Dice". We were not allowed to keep Climate Dice in the title.
A "popular science" write-up (pdf) on the paper is available on the GISS web site and some unpolished Q&A on the paper (pdf) is also available."
