Steve Schneider at National Center for Atmospheric Research (circa 1972).

Getting a job in the 1970s was not so easy.  I needed the help of two curious characters, who were exploring the threat of an ice age.  I got even more help from a beautiful young lady (draft of Chapter 9). http://www.columbia.edu/~jeh1/SophiePlanet/Planet.Chapter9.pdf I opened a Twitter account @DrJamesEHansen, (https://twitter.com/drjamesehansen), but will minimize interactions until the book is finished. Unfortunately, we accidentally deleted my May 7 tweet on Canada, urging Canadians to sign the petition https://petitions.ourcommons.ca/en/Petition/Details?Petition=e-2542 .  Information is still available on my website (Fishing for the Big One – in Canada), discussing the merits of a transparent carbon dividend.  Only Canadians can sign the petition – thanks to all those who did so!
