I know I haven't been posting much but you probably wouldn't either with my travel schedule...May will be much more calm, I assure you. Anyway, today I'm in beautiful San Diego doing a private talk; then it's off to Monterey for the American Meteorological Society's 27th conference on Hurricanes and Tropical Meteorology; then to LA for the Los Angeles Times book prize ceremonies (fingers crossed) and to speak at the Los Angeles Times book festival; then back to San Diego again for more events...see here for all the gory details.

All the George Will nonsense has had one good result - "The Myth of the 1970s Global Cooling Scientific Consensus Bulletin of the American Meteorological Society Vol. 89 Iss. 9 " is up at number one in the AMS charts.
Carl Zimmer summarizes:
He was 90 and worked at MIT. From the MIT press release:
I don't normally write about faith (I'm an atheist, I'd be bad at it), but I do often write about climate change. But my friend and colleague Paul Douglas happens to be an Evangelical Christian, Republican, and Rock Star Meteorologist.
Chris,
While in Monterey make sure you make time to take a short walk over to Asilomar beach. You won't be sorry. Next best would be to go along on a jaunt if someone is going down to Point Lobos. Do it!
Best,
D
After seeing yesterday's publicity on Greg Holland's presentation, I eagerly await hearing more about the conference. The story I saw is at http://www.climateark.org/articles/reader.asp?linkid=55586 . Key quote: "The hurricanes we are seeing are indeed a direct result of climate change and it's no longer something we'll see in the future, it's happening now."
Hello
I had the privilege of attending the Planned Parenthood Annual Dinner this past Monday and wanted to say I enjoyed your talk. It was rather refreshing to hear your arguments between religion and science. As a student currently taking a course in Bible literature, I have become more aware of the dangers of taking biblical works too literally.
I did have one question; in your biography it didn't mention what you majored in at Yale (it's mostly to satisfy my own curiosity)?
It was a pleasure hearing you speak and safe traveling!
