Sherwood B. Idso

Sherwood B. Idso is the President of the Center for the Study of Carbon Dioxide and Global Change.

Previously he was a Research Physicist with the U.S. Department of Agriculture's Agricultural Research Service at the U.S. Water Conservation Laboratory [http://www.uswcl.ars.ag.gov/] in Phoenix, Arizona; and an Adjunct Professor in the Departments of Geology, Geography, and Botany and Microbiology at Arizona State university. Among other items he worked upon the thermal stratification and water circulation in lakes.

Climate Science

In a 1988 paper, Idso offers an alternative to the widely held belief that CO₂-induced global warming is behind the planet's recovery from the global chill of the Little Ice Age.

:"Since something other than atmospheric CO₂ variability was ... clearly responsible for bringing the planet into the Little Ice Age, something other than atmospheric CO₂ variability may just as well have brought the planet out of it."

Awards

Flemming Award in recognition of "his innovative research into fundamental aspects of agricultural-climatological interrelationships affecting food production and the identification of achievable research goals whose attainment could significantly aid in assessment and improvement of world food supplies."
* Petr Beckmann Award "for courage and achievement in defense of scientific truth and freedom." [http://www.co2science.org/articles/V6/N30/B.php]
