When I returned from a walk inwards a snowy, chilly Pilsen (the temperature volition drib to minus xiv °C at night, overcompensating the eleven °C Christmas), I saw a message from Willie Soon which didn't straight off seem important.
However, it contained a forwarded message from Anne Carter telling us that Bob Carter has peacefully passed away today, at historic menstruum of 74, surrounded past times his family. See heartland.org in addition to Wikipedia. So sad.
Carter was a marine geologist, paleontologist, in addition to stratigrapher (see a Prague v years ago during a world utter close global warming organized past times in addition to then president Václav Klaus. I intend that both of us were members of a panel just I don't recall exactly. We chatted close many other things, including his in addition to his wife's see to Prague during communism etc.
I convey learned from Willie Soon that according to Carter's wife, they received a chocolate from me. Well, mild generosity inside the limits of the law. I could convey given them something to a greater extent than substantial. ;-)
His advert appears inwards Taxing Air, became ane of a relatively pocket-size give away of books close the climate that I convey read inwards detail. (He also wrote "Climate: the Counter Consensus" inwards 2010.) And I intend it's a wonderful majority that covers all the of import dimensions of the climate effect inwards a really balanced, wise, in addition to accurate way.
Similar comments utilize to his talks. Although I convey never been trained equally a geologist or geophysicist in addition to I convey never felt especially about those disciplines inwards whatsoever other way, it has ever seemed obvious that the geologist's perspective equally ideally represented past times Bob is the most natural fashion to approach the climate alter effect thus that ane may dissever facts in addition to feasible hypotheses from superstitions in addition to potentially feasible concerns from irrational hype close nothing.
Bob has clearly stayed really active, fifty-fifty really recently. See e.g. his June 2015 Heartland talk. And inwards fact, fifty-fifty five weeks ago, he was inwards Paris in addition to looked similar an Olympic athlete spell commenting on some immature greenish nuts that surrounded him inwards forepart of Notre-Dame de Paris.
Bob, y'all volition last missed.
