Profile[edit]

This profile gets Gordon's position on climate change wrong. Gordon was an early proponent of taking seriously the human impact on climate. later he also studied non-anthropogenic causes, but he never wavered on his assessment that Co2 caused climate change and that this was a really serious problem. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 176.94.121.154 (talk) 20:22, 24 February 2015 (UTC)[reply]
