I am a well-regarded expert on Greenhouse Gases.

Last week I received a phone call from a producer at a radio station in New Hampshire who was doing a special on greenhouse gases. He said he needed to interview an expert on the air. Why would he be calling me?

Start Here.

As you can see, it is obvious why the producer called me; I am considered an expert in the field. Frankly, Jordan Cohen didn't even contribute a lick - it was all me.

A little history - this article was written by me in February 1998 in my Freshman Seminar class at umich - "How to Build a Habitable Planet" It was a Geoscience class and it was a joke. I had only 2 easy courses in my four years at umich - this one, and Psychology 110 "Learning to Learn." What a joke. I took Learning to Learn with your favorite umich bball player Jamal Crawford.

The best thing about the "habitable" article is that earlier in the same semester I had a class where I was required to write a similar paper on a very similar topic, so basically I wrote two versions of the same paper. When my goon partner Jordan Cohen found out he was happy as a lark. When he was assigned as my partner, I was like "dude, today is your lucky day."

I have only heard from Jordan Cohn once since the class ended. It was circa 2002-2003 - he emailed me and said, "dude, when I google my name our article comes up!!!" I was like, "oh, you mean, MY article?" Our professor required us to "turn in" our article by posting it to the class website. There is another sweet article there written by David Shannon on fossil fuels. I highly recommend it...

I simply told the producer from the radio station I don't know jack about greenhouse gases anymore and that article was written 11 years ago.

Over the past 11 years I've been contacted a few times before regarding this article, but mostly over email and not in a LONG time. So this call stirred up a bunch of fond memories....maybe now I will go watch Al Gore's documentary and brush up on the facts...
