Richard Blane Alley (born 18 August 1957) [6] is an American geologist and Evan Pugh Professor of Geosciences at Pennsylvania State University. [7] He has authored more than 240 refereed scientific publications about the relationships between Earth's cryosphere and global climate change, [3] and is recognized by the Institute for Scientific Information as a Highly Cited Researcher.
This is a list of statements by major scientific organizations about climate change, that have issued formal statements of opinion, classifies those organizations according to whether they concur with the IPCC view (i.e. the scientific consensus on climate change), are non-committal, or dissent from it.
Climate change [ edit ] In 2006, Easterbrook claimed that, based on past trends, "the current warm cycle should end soon and global temperatures should cool slightly until about 2035", and "the total increase in global warming for the century should be ~0.3 °C, rather than the catastrophic warming of 3–6 °C (37–43 °F) predicted by the ...
In 2009, the world's developed nations agreed to give $100bn (£78bn) a year to poorer nations by 2020 to help them tackle and prepare for climate change. In the 15 years that have passed since ...
Geology will be key to any green transition, but its academic reputation needs an urgent makeover. Geologists get called 'dirty polluters', but we're needed to fight climate change Skip to main ...
While discourse about the cost of climate change often refers to potentially expensive mitigation efforts like curbing oil and gas use or technology to pull carbon pollution out of the air ...
Robert Merlin Carter (9 March 1942 – 19 January 2016) was an English palaeontologist, stratigrapher and marine geologist. He was professor and head of the School of Earth Sciences at James Cook University in Australia from 1981 to 1998, [1] [2] and was prominent in promoting anthropogenic climate change denial.
A geologist is a scientist who studies the structure, composition, and history of Earth. Geologists incorporate techniques from physics, chemistry, biology, mathematics, and geography to perform research in the field and the laboratory. Geologists work in the energy and mining sectors to exploit natural resources.
