Sir John Houghton (1931-2020): climate scientist

I was sorry to hear that Sir John Houghton died on April 15, from complications associated with coronavirus. There is a nice obituary in The New York Times.
He was appointed to an array of distinguished and influential positions, including Professor of Physics at Oxford, Director of Rutherford Appleton Lab, Director of the UK Meteorological Office, and most significantly, lead editor of the first three reports of United Nationas Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC).
I highly recommend his autobiography, In the Eye of the Storm, which I blogged about a few years ago, highlighting his integrity and influence.
