Jonathan Overpeck '79 is one of the international body of climate scientists who authored the landmark U.N. Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change report, issued on Feb. 2 in Paris. The group for the first time asserts with 90 percent confidence that human activity has caused global warming. The report comes after six years of work and is built on a previous dozen years of study by hundreds of researchers from more than 100 nations. Overpeck, a scientist at the University of Arizona, was keynote speaker at Hamilton's Antarctic Peninsula Conference held on campus in April, 2002. In that lecture, Overpeck predicted major climate changes and warned of global warming consequences.
