By John P. Holdren, Former Director and Faculty Chair, Science, Technology and Public Policy Program
"Global warming is a misnomer," said John P. Holdren, speaking at the John F. Kennedy Jr. Forum at the Kennedy School on November 6. "It implies something gradual, uniform, and benign. What we’re experiencing is none of these."
