Warren Washington, Groundbreaking Climate Scientist, Dies at 88

He invented a computer model that made it possible to measure human-induced climate change. He also helped break a color barrier in science.

Dr. Washington’s suspicions about human-induced climate change began long before it was a commonly accepted phenomenon.


“We’re seeing glaciers melting all around the world,” he said in 2006. “All of this is leading to a change in climate that we haven’t seen for thousands and thousands of years.”

“The concentration of carbon dioxide, which is a greenhouse gas, is greater than at any time in the last 600,000 years,” he continued. “We’re making profound changes on the climate.”
