Inconvenient Pipeline / Climate Crisis Publications (ePub)

Geoff Strong has had a varied career in atmospheric forecasting and research of thunderstorms, precipitation and evaporation processes, atmospheric water budgets, drought, climate cycles, and teaching the above. He continued his research into retirement during the early 2000s, but also took up the call to defend climate science.

While global warming and its cause from carbon emissions were universally accepted by scientists, climate denialists, funded heavily by the petroleum industry through third party think tanks, were using deceptive means to promote doubt and conspiracy theories concerning the science. The denialists use public and social media to spread misinformation rather than through refereed scientific literature. The denialists were successful because they were basically going unchallenged by climate scientists, most of whom rarely talk to the public.
With global carbon emissions unchecked and atmospheric carbon dioxide climbing rapidly, denialists represented a serious problem to mitigating global warming.

Geoff started giving invited public talks, simplified courses, and writing media articles on global warming. Always seeking novel ways to get the correct messages across, he even developed a bible study for the Anglican Church called Questions of Environmental Stewardship Theology (QuEST), which examines the problems of pollution and climate change with a scriptural context. More recently, he started writing novels and short stories on environmental issues. This novela is the third effort directed in this way.

Geoff holds MSc and PhD degrees in atmospheric science. He is a Fellow of and former national President of the Canadian Meteorological and Oceanographic Society (CMOS, 2006-07), and has chaired a number CMOS centres across Canada where he has resided. He has received several CMOS awards for his work over many years. For leisure, Geoff enjoys nature walks with his wife and dogs, gardening, and is an avid reader. While writing novels,
