D. in meteorology in 1972 from Massachusetts Institute of Technology.

He is listed among the top 20 authors in highest citations in all of geophysics. He recently wrote in The Scientist, “As Mark Twain said in the late 19th century, ‘Everybody talks about the weather, but nobody does anything about it.’ Now humans are changing the weather, and nobody does anything about it!

  • Government's Defeat of VIA Rail Bill
    TRANSPORT ACTION ONTARIO Advocating for Sustainable Public and Freight Transportation P.O. Box 6418, Station A, Toronto, ON M5W 1X3 www.transport-action.ontario.com FOR RELEASE APRIL 30, 2015 Government’s defeat of VIA Rail bill “misguided and destructive” TORONTO – The current government missed an opportunity to prove its support for an efficient and effective nationwide rail passenger service when it unanimously defeated MP Phil Toone’s Bill C-640, the VIA Rail Canada Act, yesterday. “This government’s veto of this progressive and necessary act to reform and revitalize our rail passenger service will prove to be misguided and destructive,” said Peter Miasek, president of the public transportation advocacy organization, Transport Action Ontario. “The most vital element in a rail passenger renaissance is an act that spells out VIA’s mandate, rights and obligations. This has been missing since VIA’s breech birth in 1977; MP Toone’s bill would have provided it.” The VIA Rail Canada Act was defeated on a vote of 152 to 122 in the House of Commons yesterday, with division on clear party lines. Every Conservative MP, plus former Conservatives James Lunney and Brent Rathgeber, who now sit as Independents, voted against it. Many of those MPs have in the past issued positive statements about their support for the maintenance, modernization and expansion of VIA. Support for the VIA Rail Canada Act came from all other members of the House of Commons who were present for the vote. That included unanimous consent by the NDP, Liberal and Green parties, Bloc Quebeçois and Forces et Démocratie, plus two Independents.

  • Single Vote Proportional Proposal for a New Election System for Canada
    Single Vote Proportional Proposal for a New Election System for Canada by Rick Ingram Canada’s current election system is based on 338 electoral districts (more commonly known as ridings) with the elected candidate for each riding being the one who receives the most votes; this system is known as first-past-the-post. This document outlines an alternative system called Single Vote Proportional. It is a hybrid with characteristics of first-past-the-post, single transferable vote and mixed-member proportional. All election systems have advantages and disadvantages. Proponents of electoral reform (including this author) find the disadvantages of first-past-the-post to be so overwhelming that there is an absolute need to introduce a replacement system. The problem has been finding a replacement system whose own disadvantages have not generated strong enough opposition to leave us with the status quo. Single Vote Proportional addresses the primary disadvantages of the 3 other main election systems. The significant advantages of Single Vote Proportional far outweigh its own disadvantages and make it a viable alternative to the clearly broken current system of first-past-the-post. Single Vote: One voter -> one vote -> one candidate For voters, no change from the current ballot or process Local Representation: 90% of the MPs are riding or regional representatives Every riding has a Riding Seat MP or a Regional Seat MP Only 10% of the seats are for national Balancing Seat MPs Inclusive: Every vote counts - and will be considered until the last
