The British Meteorological Office predicted that 2007 will be the world's warmest year on record. And, according to the United Nations' weather agency, the world's 10 warmest years have all occurred since 1994. While a resurgent El Nino is the main cause of the higher temps, many say increasing greenhouse gases and carbon emissions are in part responsible for global warming. Following are experts who can comment:
1. LAURIE DAVID, global warming activist, founded STOPGLOBALWARMING.ORG and was a producer of the movie "An Inconvenient Truth." She believes global warming is the most urgent issue of our time, and since we are all contributors to global warming pollution, we must all be part of the solution: "This is not about politics, it's about ethics. It is against every value we all hold near and dear to know we are altering life, wrecking havoc on our climate system and weather patterns -- and continue to do nothing about it."

2. JAMES RUSSELL, assistant professor of geological sciences at BROWN UNIVERSITY: "There is no longer any reason to doubt that human activities have elevated global temperatures. Temperatures have been getting warmer and warmer over the last decade in the absence of significant El Nino events, and there is abundant evidence, supported by theory, indicating that El Nino events increase global average temperatures. So it is not surprising that 2007 is predicted to be very warm. The bigger issue is what can and should be done to curb global warming, as well as identifying and investigating hidden menaces in our climate system. For instance, 2007 could highlight questions surrounding the extent to which global warming could influence the frequency and intensity of El Nino events -- a significant gap in our understanding of human impacts on global climate."

3. DR. CHRISTA FARMER, assistant professor of geology at HOFSTRA UNIVERSITY: "Humans have significantly increased the concentrations of greenhouse gas in the atmosphere by burning fossil fuels. Bubbles of ancient air trapped in ice indicate that we have raised levels of atmospheric carbon dioxide, at least 30 percent higher than any level that has existed in the past 500,000 years. If more heat is being moved from the tropical regions to the higher latitudes, it's entirely likely we will experience more severe weather-related disasters. We should be investing money in energy efficiency, alternative carbon-free energy sources, and perhaps even sequestration of the carbon already in the atmosphere."

4. JAGADISH SHUKLA is a professor in the School of Computational Sciences at GEORGE MASON UNIVERSITY. In a recent article, "Climate Model Fidelity and Projections of Climate Change," published in Geophysical Research Letters, Shukla and a team of researchers presented a detailed analysis that future estimates of global warming might be much higher than climate models are predicting. This provocative study put current climate models to the test and, for the first time, ranked these complex modeling systems in terms of accuracy: "The changes we have already seen in the past 100 years are unprecedented, with respect to the past 400,000 years of our planet's history. Our results suggest that the consensus of all climate models may be an underestimate of how much change could be in store." Shukla was the 2005 recipient of the Carl-Gustaf Rossby Medal, the highest honor the American Meteorological Society bestows upon an atmospheric scientist. Shukla's areas of expertise include climate change, deforestation and desertification. News Contact: Tara Laskowski, tlaskows@gmu.edu Phone: +1-703-993-8815 (1/16/07)
5. MILES SILMAN, associate professor of biology at WAKE FOREST UNIVERSITY, is an ecologist studying biodiversity and climate change in the tropical Andes and Amazon Basin: "Our research has shown that plants and animals in the tropical Andes, the world's richest biodiversity hotspot, have narrow climatic ranges and the predicted pace of climate change is at least 10 times greater than anything experienced in the Andes, including the last Ice Age. This means we could be facing an extinction crisis, particularly because humans have fragmented landscapes in ways that make it even harder for species to migrate to areas with climates where they can survive. Given that there is already guaranteed climate change coming, we need to create conservation areas that give species migration corridors, so they can remain in equilibrium with their preferred climate." News Contact: Cheryl V. Walker, walkercv@wfu.edu Phone: +1-336-758-6073 (1/16/07)
6. MARK BUSH, professor of biological sciences at the FLORIDA INSTITUTE OF TECHNOLOGY: "We're doing a study right now in the Galapagos. If you're going to find something that hasn't been impacted by humans too badly, that's a fairly good place to go. We've discovered a surprising hockey-stick trend of temperature change, which we weren't expecting to see at all. Climate is a tricky thing because it's not linear, and that's the biggest problem with all these models -- the expectation that it is linear. What we see is like a seesaw. You can keep working the seesaw to a certain point, but suddenly it tips without warning. Climate is inherently unstable. The best-case scenario is it will be relatively benign -- it'll keep getting a bit warmer and a bit stormier." News Contact: Karen Rhine, krhine@fit.edu Phone: +1-321-674-8964 (1/16/07)
7. STEPHEN PORDER is an assistant professor of biology in the Department of Ecology and Evolutionary Biology at BROWN UNIVERSITY. He studies the way nutrients, carbon and water cycle through ecosystems: "The way biological systems respond to human alterations is likely to feedback to affect the severity of these alterations. But the strength of the feedback, and even the direction (promoting or inhibiting change), is poorly understood." By focusing on tropical forests, one of the largest terrestrial carbon sinks, Porder hopes to better understand the interplay between biological systems, climate and land use change.

8. LARA HANSEN, Ph.D., is senior scientist at WORLD WILDLIFE FUND: "Everything on the planet is being affected by climate change. It's not a problem of the future; it's a problem now. If we continue on the trajectory we are on, the Baltimore oriole will no longer live in Maryland, where it is the state bird. It will live much further north. It's moving up to Canada. We won't have enough cold winters in Vermont, and all maple syrup will be in Canada -- that will be where the line of cool enough weather is. Climate change isn't a contentious issue among scientists. The belief that it is, is actually generated by the belief that in order to create balanced news coverage of climate change, you need to present both sides of the story. That's just not appropriate. It is like doing a story on geography and having to include an opinion about how the Earth was quite possibly flat." News Contact: Tom Lalley, tom.lalley@wwfus.org Phone: +1-202-778-9544 (1/16/07)
9. MARY C. PEARL, Ph.D., president of WILDLIFE TRUST in New York: "Global warming is impacting wildlife worldwide. As the global surface temperature continues to rise, parts of the world's system of parks and protected areas will no longer provide necessary habitat for many of the plants and animals they were created to conserve. The exquisitely co-evolved timing of some migratory species' movements and the flowering and fruiting of their food sources will be jostled out of synchrony. Temperature affects the life histories of many insects, including those that spread disease to people, such as mosquitoes and ticks. We can expect loss of wildlife and impacts on health due to climate change." News Contact: Anthony Ramos, ramos@wildlifetrust.org Phone: +1-212-380-4469 (1/16/07)
10. PATRICK J. MICHAELS is senior fellow in environmental studies at CATO INSTITUTE. In the forward of the Cato Policy Analysis, "Is the Sky Really Falling? A Review of Recent Global Warming Scare Stories," he wrote: "In the last two years, a remarkable amount of disturbing news has been published concerning global warming, largely concentrating on melting of polar ice, tropical storms and hurricanes, and mass extinctions. Global warming affects hurricanes in both positive and negative fashions, and there is no relationship between the severity of storms and ocean-surface temperature, once a commonly exceeded threshold temperature is reached. Reports of massive species extinction also turn out to be impressively flawed."

11. DAN GERDING, AIA, LEED AP, is managing principal of GERDING COLLABORATIVE, LLC, an Atlanta-based architecture firm that seeks ecologically sensitive solutions to promote responsible use of energy, land and water resources for commercial, institutional and residential clients. Gerding has a positive perspective on the things we can do today to tackle the issue of global warming: "The debate about whether or not global warming is real, is over. It has been estimated that the construction and operation of buildings contributes to approximately half of all greenhouse gases, resulting from human activity. Recognizing the need for aggressive action, the building design and construction industry is taking a proactive approach to rising global temperatures by constructing the next generation of sustainable buildings with higher efficiencies and reduced environmental footprints. Besides being good for the world as a whole, these buildings provide superior environments for those who work, live and play in them."

12. MICHAEL DWORKIN, professor and director of the Institute for Energy and the Environment at VERMONT LAW SCHOOL in South Royalton, is a nationally recognized leader in energy and environmental law: "Energy policy is our world's most important environmental issue, and environmental constraints may be the energy sector's most important challenge. America's legal system will critically affect how humanity meets this challenge." Dworkin is director of the American Council for an Energy Efficient Economy and an "outside" director of the Electric Power Research Institute. He has been a utility regulator, an environmental litigator, and a successful small-business man. Dworkin is former chair of the Vermont Public Service Board.

13. DAVID HALES is president of the COLLEGE OF THE ATLANTIC and former counsel for sustainability policy at Worldwatch Institute. Hales has been chair and moderator for numerous international environmental conferences and negotiations. In the Principal Voices series, which ran in Time and Fortune magazines, Hales was quoted as saying: "A fair, transparent and global market, free of protectionism, where all costs of products and services -- including environmental impacts, which are transgenerational -- are included in prices, is a necessary tool for transition to sustainability. Governments should set clear performance goals and standards, and refrain from practices that artificially choose winners and losers. A modest first step is for governments to refuse to subsidize the costs of waste and risk management. Neither nuclear power nor fossil fuels, for example, are likely to compete effectively with renewable energy if the costs of environmental impacts or risk management are included in the price of energy to the consumer."

14. RODNEY TAYLOR, managing director of AON ENVIRONMENTAL SERVICES GROUP, a risk management and insurance brokerage firm: "As a result of increases in mean surface temperatures, some scientists fear that the result will be a rise in ocean levels and the subsequent loss of coastal lands and entire islands. Damage to properties near the coasts would be enormous, with the outcome being a rise in the severity of weather-related disasters. Therefore, it is imperative that corporate risk managers develop and implement risk management strategies to mitigate weather-related risks associated with global warming. They should also determine whether there is any chance the corporation might be found liable for causing or contributing to an increase in the frequency or severity of weather-related incidents. That being said, they should advise C- level executives to make certain the firm reduces their use of fossil fuels, captures or controls harmful emissions, recycles waste materials, reduces water consumption and sends less solid waste to landfills."

16. ED WINARSKI is CEO of OPTIMUM APPLIED SYSTEMS (OAS), an engineering firm with a mission to transform energy-squandering buildings into eco- friendly "Smart Buildings": "As the heated battle for the world's last remaining oil and natural gas reserves rages on, we must take steps toward ending our fossil fuel addiction. Most people single out 'gas-guzzling' SUVs as symbols of waste, but, in fact, commercial office buildings consume more than 65 percent of all electricity in the U.S. That's 36 percent of all energy and almost a third of greenhouse gas emissions. The benefits of utilizing energy-saving technologies in our nation's office buildings are far-reaching."

17. MYRON EBELL is director of energy and global warming policy at the COMPETITIVE ENTERPRISE INSTITUTE. He also chairs the Cooler Heads Coalition, which comprises over two-dozen nonprofit groups in this country and abroad that question global warming alarmism and oppose energy rationing policies. Among numerous recognitions, Greenpeace featured Ebell and three of his CEI colleagues in "A Field Guide to Climate Criminals," distributed at the UN climate meeting in Montreal in December 2005. Rolling Stone magazine named Ebell one of six "Misleaders" on global warming in a special feature, along with President Bush, Senator James Inhofe and Michael Crichton. Seven members of the British House of Commons from all three major parties introduced a motion to censure Ebell "in the strongest possible terms." National Journal profiled Ebell as one of 10 people who would lead the global warming debate during the next presidential administration. The Clean Air Trust named Ebell its "Villain of the Month" for his role in convincing the Bush Administration not to regulate carbon dioxide emissions.

20. LOREN R. CASS is associate professor of political science at the COLLEGE OF THE HOLY CROSS. In his book, "The Failures of American and European Climate Policy: International Norms, Domestic Politics, and Unachievable Commitments" (SUNY, 2006), Cass argues that international norms and normative debates provide the key to understanding the evolution of both domestic and international responses to the threat of global climate change. The focus of analysis is German, British, European Union, and American climate policy between 1985 and 2005. He examines why some nations, but not others, have made climate commitments and succeeded or failed to meet these commitments. While there have been a large number of books recently on climate change, most have focused on what the next steps should be. Cass' book is a scholarly analysis explaining the variation in political responses to climate change in the United States, European Union, Germany and United Kingdom.

21. WILLIAM RUDDIMAN, author of the recent book "Plows, Plagues, and Petroleum: How Humans Took Control of Climate," argues that we've been manipulating and changing our environment for years, beginning with the advent of agriculture. Therefore, global warming should not be thought of as a modern problem. He further argues that this environmental manipulation has even possibly prevented an ice age than if natural cycles had prevailed. Ruddiman is also author of "Earth's Climate: Past & Future" and has published many articles in Scientific American, Nature, and Science, as well as various scientific journals. He recently retired as professor of environmental sciences at the University of Virginia, following many years as a senior research scientist at Lamont-Doherty Earth Observatory of Columbia University.
