He is also an adjunct faculty member at the Schmid College of Science and Technology at Chapman University where he teaches courses on environmental health and pollution, and an adjunct faculty member at National University where he teaches online graduate and undergraduate science courses.

He is the author of the book Beyond Debate: Answers to 50 Misconceptions on Climate Change, which has been acclaimed by Citizens' Climate Lobby founder Marshall Saunders, among prominent scientists at MIT, UCLA, and elsewhere.

He is also a co-founder of the project “On the Road for climate action” which is an effort to raise awareness about climate change by organizing educational climate events and giving public presentations across all 50 American States.

We interviewed him in an effort to learn from his wealth of knowledge and experience with regards to the anthropogenic climate acceleration we are all experiencing, its causes, its symptoms and the solutions that are out there, at arms reach for us all.
