V. Ramanathan (UC San Diego, SIO, Distinguished Professor, Atmospheric Studies, and Climate Change) Discovered the greenhouse effect of halocarbons in 1975. With R. Madden, predicted in 1980 that global warming would be detected by 2000. Led the first international NASA/WMO/UNEP assessment on the climate effects of non-CO2 greenhouse gases, and now leads a team of researchers from the UC system developing 10 scalable solutions to arrest global warming.
