 *via Neiman Reports*

 Daniel P. Schrag is the Sturgis Hooper Professor of Geology at Harvard University, professor of environmental science and engineering, and director of the Harvard University Center for the Environment. He studies climate and climate change over a broad range of Earth’s history, particularly how information on climate change from the geologic past can lead to better understanding of anthropogenic climate change in the future. In addition to his work on geochemistry and climatology, Schrag studies energy technology and policy, including carbon capture and storage and low-carbon synthetic fuels. From 2009 to 2017, Schrag served on President Barack Obama’s Council of Advisors on Science and Technology.

 Schrag spoke to Nieman Fellows in March on how the media could adopt more honest messaging about climate change, the limitations of climate optimism, and how society can adapt to climate change.
