Revelle could also discuss why taking action on global warming has been so difficult politically, despite mounting scientific evidence that the phenomenon exists for so many years. Revelle began his work in oceanography but gradually expanded his focus to population studies, enabling him to bring his expertise in both fields to the panel (Roger Revelle, 2010, p.3). Michael Pollan

A heavily meat-based diet based upon a monoculture of growing corn for animal feed and corn-based sweeteners is linked to excessive caloric intake and also to increases in greenhouse gases, writes Pollan (Pollan 2007). Pollan's writings demonstrate how the

The consequences of global warming upon human life, Pollan's work suggest, are manifest in the here and now.
