There was an interesting piece that appeared in the October 12 edition of the Seattle Times, “Q&A: Global warming \u2014 a world of evidence”<\/a>. This follows up on a previous article by journalist Sandi Doughton in the October 9 issue of the Times, “The Truth About Global Warming”<\/a>.<\/p>\n

In the Q&A, a group of University of Washington scientists, including atmospheric scientist and climate researcher J. Mike Wallace<\/a>, weigh in with answers to questions fielded from the paper’s readers. Many of the questions, such as “Isn’t it true that scientists in the 1970s said the earth was cooling?” are quite similar to those we’ve addressed here at RealClimate (see “The Global Cooling Myth”<\/a>). <\/p>\n

Wallace’s perspectives are particularly interesting because he is both a highly respected climate researcher (and National Academy of Sciences member<\/a>) and, like a number of other long-time researchers in the field, was once a “skeptic” (in the best sense of the word) regarding the evidence for anthropogenic climate change. However, like many other such researchers, he has become convinced by the compelling weight of evidence<\/a> indicating human influence on climate that has unfolded over the past decade, remarking<\/a> that “with each passing year the evidence has gotten stronger \u2014 and is getting stronger still.<\/em>“<\/p>\n\n<\/div> ","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
