Songs about science IX: Rollin’ to the Future - September 15, 2008
Via Andrew Revkin’s DotEarth blog we meet Richard Alley of Penn State, aka The Singing Climatologists. This is ‘Rollin’ to the Future’, described by Alley as “a musical review about the problem of scarce resources”.
Revkin says:
Besides being a lead author on several reports from the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change, Dr. Alley led one of the groups that first discerned in Greenland’s ice layers how the climate has seen extraordinary jogs in temperature, particularly shortly after the end of the last ice age. ... Now he’s moving into multimedia communication on climate, and earth sciences more generally, not just with video, but with a guitar.
For our younger readers, this is what he’s referencing although this version is clearly better.
