    • Abstract:
      The article features Ronald Prinn, director of the Massachusetts Institute of Technology's (MIT) Center for Global Change Science. The professor of atmospheric science has played an important role in raising climate change awareness in the general public with his Advanced Global Atmospheric Gases Experiment (AGAGE), which is celebrating its 30th year of monitoring ozone-depleting compounds, including the chlorofluorocarbons once widely used in aerosols and greenhouse gases like methane. According to Paul Fraser of Commonwealth Scientific and Industrial Research Organisation, Prinn's big contribution was to expand the idea that people had to look at the planet globally, not only for CO2 but for all the gases important for climate change and ozone depletion.
