Writings
"Apocalyptic scenarios are a diversion from real problems...needing intelligent attention. ...turning practical problems into cosmic cataclysms takes us further away from actual solutions. This applies, in my view, to...popular climate catastrophism. Such entertaining visions owe less to scientific climatology than to eschatology"[2]
