Summary:Some were simply contemptuous of calls for international cooperation and the policies and lifestyle changes needed to curb greenhouse-gas emissions; others had concluded that the world's politicians and bureaucrats are not up to the job of agreeing on such reforms or that global warming will come more rapidly, and with more catastrophic consequences, than many models predict. Now affiliated with the Hoover Institution, a think tank at Stanford University, Wood was aprotégé of the late Edward Teller, the weapons scientist who was credited with developing the hydrogen bomb and was the architect of the Reaganera Star Wars missile defense system (which Wood worked on, too).
