Prof Michael Raupach's death a double tradgedy

The late Prof Michael Raupach - a loss.

Those who understand the climate change conversation, both scientifically and morally, are a rather rare commodity and so his or her death is a double tragedy.

And sadly the ranks of those knowledgeable about the finer aspects of climate change was further thinned with the recent death of 64-tear-old climate scientist, Professor Michael Rapach.

An ABC story headed: “Climate change scientist Professor Michael Raupach dies, colleagues hail dedicated researcher” tells of the loss.

Professor Raupach had a long career at CSIRO and was the inaugural co-chairman of the Global Carbon Project, an international project studying the natural and human influences on the global carbon cycle.
