Prominent for what? He comes across very strange, writing things like this:
"Global warming is a very serious issue, but most of the impacts are in the future. There is much we can do to address global warming, both in terms of adaptation and mitigation. There is, in fact, much reason for optimism."
(I do agree that there much we can do, but most of these things are hard problems of collective action)
- m0zg 7y agohttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cliff_Mass https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cliff_Mass Quote: "He has published over 120 articles in peer-reviewed scientific venues, and served on the board of over a dozen regional and national meteorological committees, conferences, and scientific journals." That's as prominent as it gets. Sorry he doesn't exactly tow your particular party line on all this.
- ncmncm 7y agoNobody tows lines at all.
- vanusa 7y agoThe "tow your line" bit above was a troll move. There's no need to engage it.
- vanusa 7y agoThat's as prominent as it gets. Actually 120 papers (by late career) and a few board memberships is fairly median on the prominence scale. Nowhere near "as prominent as gets".
