Description: Over years of facilitating conversations about climate change, I
accumulated 32 pounds of paper resources and 4.4 gigabytes of multimedia files on my
computer, always searching for what is new, important, interesting, and
understandable by the lay person. As of this writing (August 2011), a recent book by
the director of NASA’s Institute for Space Studies, probably the world’s best
climate scientist, tops the list. The title — “Storms of My Grandchildren: The
Truth about the Coming Climate Catastrophe and Our Last Chance to Save Humanity.”
The science is fascinating, and the issue is “likely to be the predominant
scientific, economic, political and moral issue of the 21st century.” Let’s talk
about it.

Tim Mock earned his degree in physics from Rice University in ’64 and retired at age
36 from a career mostly in computer systems analysis. Now at age 68, he tends to
worry about what kind of world he is leaving behind, a worry that has led to an
interesting hobby of presenting without charge a broad range of topics about how
people are overusing the planet.
