In 2000 Dr. Pieter Tans, who measures greenhouse gases at NOAA's Earth System Research Laboratory in Boulder, CO was worried about global warming. This year, in an interview with Pat Neuman, a hydrologist who used to work at NOAA's National Weather Service North Central River Forecast Center, Dr. Tans said he's more worried now than he was in 2000.
NOAA removed hydrologist for speaking out on climate change but 5 months later canceled the removal, details at
Dr. Tans, who I met with at the NOAA building in Boulder on Oct. 4, 2007, said he believes his recent Presidential Award gives him protection from retaliation for speaking out about climate change at work. Such was not the case with the hydrologist (me) as can be seen at:
