And There It Is! The author, Clyde R. Burnett, writing under the pen name Alex Cook is a retired physics professor and atmospheric scientist living in Gilpin County, Colorado. His thirty-three years of the column abundance of atmospheric hydroxyl is the experimental basis for the theoretical structure of the lower stratosphere and for the catalytic destruction of ozone at that altitude. And I’m reminded that Amy explained to Prof during his New Zealand visit that the Lauder scientists mostly lived in Alexandra, calling it Alex. And there was the town of Clyde a few miles up the Clutha. And a few miles from Mt. Cook, there was a Mt. Burnett. I wonder if that might have inspired the pen name of our author. His previous novels, which include descriptions of global warming science, are The Greenhouse Effect – a Legacy, Jason and the Grizzly, The Family Guide to Disruptive Climate Change, The Community, and Orbatz in the Everglades. His non-fiction atmospheric science book is Nature’s Greenhouse –Ominous Developments.
