	Tyler Environmental Prize
		Bert R.J. Bolin is a pioneer in global climate change, who has helped focus international attention on the potential dangers to the world's climate posed by the "greenhouse" gases, such as carbon dioxide and, more recently, ozone, methane, nitrogen oxides, and chloroflurocarbons.
		Bolin previously served as scientific director of the European Space Research Organization, and he presently serves as scientific adviser to the Prime Minister of Sweden.
		Bolin received his B.S. degree from the University of Uppsala and his Ph.D. from the University of Stockholm.

		Bert Bolin, Chairman of the IPCC from its inception in 1988, gave his final report to COP 3 Monday.
		The true measure of his reach, as Professor Bolin realizes, is the ability of participants to respond to the challenge the scientific community has put before the political community.
		He then reminded delegates that if the objective of the Convention is to be achieved, non Annex-I countries will not be able to base their development on the same path as the industrialized countries.

	The Heat Is Online
		In June, 1997, S. Fred Singer, arguably the most reckless of the U.S. "greenhouse skeptics", launched a blitz of news releases which declared that Dr. Bert Bolin, then-chair of the IPCC, was disavowing his previous statements about climate science.
		The then-chair of the IPCC categorically denied criticizing Clinton administration officials and others who have commented that recent extreme weather events may be the result of rising global temperatures.
		Bolin noted that Vice President Al Gore?s statement that the 1997 floods in the Upper Midwest "are consistent" with the predicted effects of climate change is a scientifically accurate statement and "no cause for criticism."

	Sustainable Development and Global Climate Change Conference-Bert Bolin, Pieter Tans, Thomas Karl
		I believe the approach taken by Bert Bolin and John Horton in one instance of isolating those two particular countries and putting them as a footnote needs to be done far more, and we can't keep going towards the lowest common denominator in all of our debates.
		DR. BOLIN: There is in the summary for Working Group One very clear statements that if you wish to stabilize at 450, you mustn't emit during the next 110 years more than 600 gigaton, which is just about the average emission during the next century as the present emissions.
		DR. WATSON: In fact, if you look at the diagram shown by both Bert Bolin and Tom Karl, the model which had CO only, and look at the pattern of the CO only and the observations, you have a negative correlation that is getting worse with time; it just goes down.

		These are the kind of data Bolin and his colleagues use in pressing their case that climate change is imminent.
		Bolin, 72, recently stepped down after nine years as chairman of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change, a U.N.- sponsored network of hundreds of climate scientists that concluded, in a pivotal 1995 report, that human activities were warming the atmosphere, principally through the burning of coal, oil and gas.
		Bolin, whose scientific panel advises governments on both the causes and potential solutions to climate change, said returning to 1990 levels showed “very good intention.”

		Bolin was the director of the International Meteorological Institute in Stockholm from 1957 to 1990, where he advanced research about dynamics of atmospheric motions, atmospheric chemistry, and biogeochemical cycles.
		Bolin was senior author of the book "The Greenhouse Effect, Climatic Change, and Ecosystems", which synthesized available knowledge about global climate change and its impact on the Earth's ecosystems.
		Bolin served as chairman of the scientific committees that developed the Global Atmospheric Research Program and the International Geosphere Biosphere Program, and led the scientific assessment by the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change, which provided the basis for an agreement on the Framework Convention on Climate Change and later, the adoption of its Kyoto Protocol.

		According to Singer, Bolin had dismissed the connection between atmospheric warming and extreme weather events – and was distressed that the Clinton Administration was taking measures to reduce emissions.
		Bolin said it was "scientifically accurate" to note that extreme weather effects "are consistent with the predicted effects of climate change.
		Singer followed that misrepresentation with an attack on the integrity of the entire IPCC process in an interview last January in The New American, the magazine of the ultra-conservative John Birch Society.

		But subsequent evaluations by leading scientists indicate that the environmental effects may be so small as to be almost unnoticeable in the near term.
		In an analysis published last month in the journal Science, Bolin predicted that levels in the atmosphere will climb to 382 parts per million by 2010 if countries strictly obeyed their Kyoto commitments.
		Such a reduction would be "an important first step" but would be "far from what is required to reach the goal of stabilizing the concentration of in the atmosphere," wrote Bolin.

		A senior economic adviser to President Putin stated that he found the answers from the scientific organizers to his detailed questions over climate change science (which for the most part simply quoted from the IPCC's Third Assessment Report issued two years ago) were unconvincing.
		When the debate was opened up to the floor on the final day, conference chairman Bert Bolin was forced to admit that nine out of 10 questions from the floor questioned the "consensus" on anthropogenic climate change.
		After the conference, Russian advisers were at pains to stress that their skepticism towards Kyoto was based on genuine misgivings over the treaty's scientific basis and the effects of climate change on Russia rather than simply a negotiating tactic to extract more concessions from the west.
