James Hansen - Sophie's Planet #9: Chapters 13 & 14 (Climate Eruption & The First Team)

02 June 2020 James Hansen

Dr. Robert S. Cooper was a commanding leader and visionary, who lead the weather and climate eruption in NASA when he became the Goddard Space Flight Center Director in 1976. The eruption rattled the walls of the Goddard Institute for Space Studies in New York, but our budding planetary and climate research programs survived, thanks to a group of then young scientists, pictured here in more recent times (except Tony and Makiko in 1970s photos). http://www.columbia.edu/~jeh1/SophiePlanet/Planet.Chapters13+14.pdf Here are drafts of Chapters 13 &14 of Sophie’s Planet for fact checking. I opened a Twitter account @DrJamesEHansen, (https://twitter.com/drjamesehansen), but will minimize interactions until the book is finished.
