The First Annual American Geophysical Union Climate Communication Award has gone to Gavin Schmidt of the Goddard Institute for Space Studies.
I am continually humbled by the calm, measured, and authoritative way in which Dr. Schmidt, in the face of constant distortions, slander, abuse and ignorance on the part of the professional anti-science crowd, continues to provide a still center in the midst of a rancorous debate, at this most critical time in history.
A well deserved award for an extraordinary human being. Maybe the best illustration for how most of us feel listening to Gavin cut thru the noise, is this video wherein he patiently teaches a novice the rudiments of juggling…
“…swamp the forces of confusion.” Love it. Sounds alot like “Overcome evil with good.”
Dr. Schmidt gives a great critique on our future solutions and problems- it will take time- we can only hope that time begins now.
Congratulations Gavin Schmidt.
