Don Easterbrook

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Don J. Easterbrook is a retired geology professor at Western Washington University and author of Surface Processes and Landforms[1]. Easterbrook is skeptical of anthropogenic global warming, and has made statements criticizing Al Gore's film An Inconvenient Truth[2] and IPCC temperature projections[3]. He has appeared on the Headline News program Glenn Beck[4] and in the New York Times[2] as a global warming skeptic.

Easterbrook gave a speech at the 2006 Geological Society of America annual meeting, in which he stated:

"If the cycles continue as in the past, the current warm cycle should end soon and global temperatures should cool slightly until about 2035, then warm about 0.5° C from ~2035 to ~2065, and cool slightly until 2100. The total increase in global warming for the century should be ~0.3 ° C, rather than the catastrophic warming of 3-6° C (4-11° F) predicted by the IPCC."[3]
