About Veerabhadran Ramanathan, Contributor to “Renewable Energy Facts and Fantasies”

Professor V. Ramanathan of Scripps Institution of Oceanography contributed to the book’s chapter on global warming.  “Ram” (as he likes to be called) is the man generally credited with the discovery of the phenomenon of global warming, correctly predicting in the early 1970s that there would be a measurable increase in the temperature of the Earth’s atmosphere by 1980. I was happy to make the 200-mile trek down to La Jolla to speak with Ram in his laboratory.
