Rowland is the Donald Bren Research Professor of Chemistry and Earth
System Science at the University of California, Irvine. Among the
numerous awards he has received for his scientific research, he was
awarded the 1995 Nobel Prize in Chemistry along with Mario Molina and
Paul Crutzen. Dr. Rowland and Dr. Molina were the first scientists
to warn that chlorofluorocarbons were depleting the ozone layer.
Dr. Rowland was among the prominent signatories on a report released
in February 2004 which charged the Bush administration with distorting
and attempting to suppress scientific findings. Dr. Rowland
comments on the report, and his role on a National Academy of Sciences
committee commissioned by the Bush administration to review the
conclusions of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change. He
discusses the climate change study conducted by the Pentagon and
released to Fortune magazine in February 2004. He details the
causes, processes and results of global warming, and presents some
proposed solutions.
