[edit] 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." [2]
[edit] Awards
- Arthur S. 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."
