In 2012, I tagged along with Professor Mauri Pelto on his annual survey of glaciers in the Northern Cascades, something he’s been doing for 3 decades now.
He is the consummate professional, with an encyclopedic knowledge of his subject, (his valuable blog here) and the stamina of a mountain goat. We were lucky enough to catch up with him in San Francisco a few months ago.
I really am enjoying the Elevator Pitch series. They are concise, informative and entertaining. Keep ’em coming!
The “Elevator Glitch”
Synopsis:
Denier gets into elevator that 97% structural engineers thought had a 50% chance of failing by 2030.
Starts ranting about why the planet isn’t warming, is all a hoax and that it isn’t bad and that it’s a conspiracy to impose a new world order yada yada yada etc…
Cable snaps.
Rant fades with Doppler shift…
End.
