He was a lead author of the 1995, 2001 and 2007 Scientific Assessment of Climate Change reports from the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC), and shared the 2007 Nobel Peace Prize which went to the IPCC. He served from 1999 to 2006 on the Joint Scientific Committee of the World Climate Research Programme (WCRP), and chaired Global Energy and Water Exchanges (GEWEX) from 2010-2014. He has also served on many national committees. He is a fellow of the American Meteorological Society (AMS), the American Association for Advancement of Science, the American Geophysical Union, and an honorary fellow of the Royal Society of New Zealand.

In 2000 he received the Jule G. Charney award from the AMS; in 2003 he was given the NCAR Distinguished Achievement Award; in 2013 he was awarded the Prince Sultan Bin Abdulaziz International Prize for Water, and from AGU he received the Climate Communication Prize in 2013 and the Roger Revelle Medal in 2017. He has published 580 scientific articles and given many invited scientific talks as well as appearing in a number of television and radio programs and newspaper articles. From 1996 until 2017 he is ranked first in the number of highly cited papers published out of all 223,246 published environmental scientists.

Climate change is mostly due to human activities resulting in changed atmospheric composition that interferes with the natural flow of energy through the climate system. Two greenhouse gases contribute most to this problem, carbon dioxide and methane; both of which could be ameliorated significantly.  As a result, there is global heating: rising temperatures, increased drying, more atmospheric moisture, heavier rains, stronger storms, and more intense droughts, heatwaves and wildfires. This talk will outline the problem and how and why it results in greater extremes that cause tremendous increasing damage.  It will then pursue consequences and what may be done about the problems.

RAR2022 will focus on any and all rubberized asphalt materials containing scrap tire rubber, from a low percentage such as 5 percent to higher percentages above even 24 percent. Since there have been so many recent significant changes in the testing, specifying and application of scrap tire rubber in asphalt this Conferences focus is literally on all types of asphalt binders or asphalt hot mixes containing any percentage of scrap tire rubber, as well as both wet and dry applications. In addition both generic and proprietary rubberized asphalt products can be reported. Case studies, environmental effects and benefits, cost effectiveness of many paving construction materials and techniques will be presented.
