Today marks the centennial of the birthday of scientist and scholar Roger Revelle who was first to measure carbon dioxide in relation to global warming in Mauna Loa, Hawaii in the late 50s. A commemoration was held at Scripps Institute of Oceanography, with Al Gore receiving the Roger Revelle prize. Congratulations, Mr. Gore (I can only imagine how it must feel to receive a prize named after your mentor) and happy birthday to a great man in Roger Revelle who opened up our eyes to the effects of our actions.
