John Holdren’s keynote talk on climate change at the Carnegie Endowment, March 10, 2015
Me and John Holdren, March 10, 2015 (I should have fixed my tie!)
The professor who had the most influence on me as a graduate student at UC Berkeley (after my main thesis advisors Art Rosenfeld and Tony Fisher) was John P. Holdren, who now heads up the President’s Office of Science and Technology Policy (OSTP). In 2008, he was good enough to write the forward to the 2nd edition of my book Turning Numbers into Knowledge, which you can download here.
John graciously accepted an invitation from me and Jessica Matthews at Carnegie to keynote the VIP dinner that occurred on March 10, 2015, the night before we unveiled the Oil Climate Index. John’s summary of the climate problem and key policy implications is second to none, and I wanted to share his talk. It will be posted to the OSTP and Carnegie web sites soon, but since I can move a bit faster, I posted it below.
