Whenever he turned on any faucet or shower head in his home, he never turned it off. As a result, fresh water flowed through the drains in his home 365 days…See More

Score One for Science

"Reality must take precedence over public relations, for Nature cannot be fooled." - Richard Feynman. Climate scientists are particularly sensitive to any suggestion that their atmospheric Global Circulation Models (GCMs) can be improved. They have been hounded on every little discrepancy in their scientific work and any such suggestion would be pounced upon by contrarians eager to promote the continuation of our world wide fossil-fuel binge. Therefore, it was a triumph of academic integrity…See More

Dr. Rao,

I just heard your presentation here at NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory and I was absolutely astounded and thrilled to hear it. What a remarkable organization-- It was very uplifting to hear that actual positive solutions to this global crisis do in fact exist. I wish to be involved with this as much as possible, and would love to hear from you abo0ut more ways to get involved, both here and in the Bay area.

Thanks so much,

Samantha Harvey, M.S., M.A.

Dr. Rao,

I’ve just joined up here at Climate Healers and wonder if you, or anyone else here, would consider an email interview for a site called A Climate For Change (http://www.aclimateforchange.org/) in Australia which I have posted my one-and-only ever blog titled:

Richard Muller and The Berkeley Earth Surface Temperature (BEST) group
Posted by Matthew Rosenbaum on November 11, 2011
http://www.aclimateforchange.org/profiles/blogs/richard-muller-and-the-berkeley-earth-surface-temperature-best?xg_source=activity

I’m hoping to post some interviews over the next few months leading up to the UN Climate Change Conference in Qatar starting 26 November 2012.

Not that I’m holding out any great hopes mind you.

But I do live in hope.

Kind Regards,

Matthew Rosenbaum
