El Reg has this interesting interview [theregister.co.uk] with legendary physicist Freeman Dyson [wikipedia.org]:

The life of physicist Freeman Dyson spans advising bomber command in World War Two, working at Princeton as a contemporary of Einstein, and providing advice to the US government on a wide range of scientific and technical issues. He is a rare public intellectual writing prolifically for a wide audience, and also campaigned against nuclear weapons proliferation.

At the Oak Ridge National Laboratory, Dyson was looking at the climate system before it became a hot political issue, over 25 years ago. Today he provides a robust foreword to a publication by Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change co-founder Indur Goklany on CO2 by the Global Water System Project, which re-emphasises out his views.

Enjoy!
