How BP Execs Influenced a Climate Study That Shaped a Generation of Global Policy
BP sponsored an elite Princeton research center to address the climate problem without getting off fossil fuels. Its key work, a paper known as “Wedges,” guided climate discourse for a generation.

Fantastic program now out for #HPS conference "Decoding Our Planet: The Making of Geophysics", bringing together scholars from history of science, #geophysics, & philosophy of science to explore how modern geophysics took shape in #19thC & 20thC, at the Royal Institution in London 12 May
Decoding Our Planet: The Making of Geophysics
How did we come to understand the origin and basic physical processes of our planet?
Answering this question requires us to understand the origins of modern geophysics, the science investigating everything from gravity and magnetism to earthquakes, climate change, and plate tectonics. The best place to answer this question is at the Royal Institution, where most major geophysicists discoursed, debated, and corresponded. In this workshop, we bring together leading scholars from history of science, and geophysics, and philosophy of science to explore how modern geophysics took shape in the nineteenth and twentieth century.
This event is held in conjunction with Discover200 - a celebration of the Ri's 200 year history of its Discourse series, CHRISTMAS LECTURES, and the isolation of Benzene
We are incredibly grateful to the Freer Trust, the Department of History and Philosophy of Science (University of Cambridge), and individual attendees for their generosity in funding this event. Thank you!

Semester's begun! Proud to hear that more than half of the physics students who enrolled in our interdisciplinary master's course on climate change (which I'm co-teaching with two climate scientists at LMU) are very curious about the philosophical aspects! Pressure’s on 😬 to help that interest grow.
