Abstract
Global warming, although usually associated with imminent environmental disasters, also presents splendid opportunities for research and education
and for collaboration between the rich and the poor that will benefit both groups. Unfortunately, efforts to take advantage of these opportunities are
handicapped by the misperception that scientific disputes concerning imminent global climate changes have been settled—that the science "is over"—
in addition to a failure to appreciate that some people face problems more urgent than adaptation to and mitigation of the climate changes scientists
predict. Changes over the past few decades in the way we conduct our affairs in the Earth sciences, specifically the atmospheric and oceanic sciences, contribute
to these misunderstandings. This is a subjective, personal account of those changes. Go to Recent Documents on the home page to read more.
