My first post here. A few excerpts about state climatologists, other than Pat Michaels, which may be of interest:
Oregon's state climatologist George Taylor: "I definitely don't recommend making huge societal changes" based on what may or may not happen, he said. January 19, 2005 http://www.newsreview.info/article/20050119/NEWS/101190079 Colorado State Climatologist Roger Pielke Sr. "My feeling is that the climate system is so complex that we can't predict with skill what will happen in the future," Pielke said. April 19, 2005 http://www.rockymountainnews.com/drmn/local/article/0,1299,DRMN_15_3712751,00.html ..."The subject matter is of professional interest to us, but we make no claim of expertise in this highly complicated and politicized field of study. Our thoughts on the issue are well represented by a policy statement prepared by the American Association of State Climatologists (AASC)." http://climate.umn.edu/doc/climate_change.htm AASC Policy Statement on Climate Variability and Change (2/4/2002) http://www.ncdc.noaa.gov/oa/aasc/aascclimatepolicy.pdf History of the State Climatologist in New Mexico http://weather.nmsu.edu/History-State-Climatologist.htm --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups Global Change ("globalchange") newsgroup.
