George Kukla

George Kukla

George Kukla is retired professor of climatology at Columbia University and a researcher at the Lamont-Doherty Earth Observatory.

Kukla was co-author of a chapter in the book "Natural Climate Variability on Decade to Century Time Scales" published by the National Research Council.

Kukla believes all glacial periods in Earth's history began with global warming (understood as an increase of area-weighted average global mean temperature). He believes Earth's recent warming is mostly natural and will ultimately lead to a new ice age. [http://www.gelfmagazine.com/archives/an_unrepentant_prognosticator.php]
