This site
is constructed by Dr. John Everett
to provide objective information
about climate warming from the perspective
of a systems analyst who is often
asked about climate change, whether
as part of some other issue or directly
in Congressional testimony. Every
effort is made to present all the
issues, similar to what an enquiring
mind would need to understand before
rendering an opinion as to whether
there are pros and cons to a warming
(or cooling) scenario for a particular
sector in a particular region, or
even for the global society. Essentially,
this is a site for those who think
before they leap. For those whose
mind is already determined, perhaps
you should go elsewhere and not become
confused by facts.
Climate Change Experience:
Writings and Presentations
on Climate Change are available on
the main page.
Dr. Everett led work
for the IPCC on five impact analyses
from 1988-2000: Fisheries (Convening
Lead Author), Polar Regions (Co-Chair),
Oceans (Lead Author), and Oceans
and Coastal Zones (Co-Chair/2 reports).
He also was a Contributing Expert
in developing the IPCC Impact Assessment
Methodology protocol. See IPCC
Nobel Prize recognition .
He was on the Board coordinating
the NOAA Climate Change Research
Program. Since leaving NOAA, he has
kept abreast of the literature in
these areas, has talked to many individuals
and groups and has maintained these
subjects on the UN Atlas of the Oceans,
where he is the Chief Editor and
Project Manager. As time permits,
he reviews IPCC documents for IPCC
and for the US.
In 1996 he received
the NOAA Administrator’s Award
for “accomplishments in assessing
the impacts of climate change on
global oceans and fisheries.”
He was assigned the
climate change duties when he was
the National Marine Fisheries Service
Division Chief for Fisheries Development
in the 1970s. The agency was very
concerned about the impact of climate
change on the United States fisheries
and fishing industry. Global cooling. would be devastating to our fisheries and aquaculture.
About 1987, the momentum shifted
to fears of global warming and
as Director of Policy and Planning
for NOAA/NMFS, he was tasked to lead
NMFS efforts in dealing with it.
Educated and interested
in holistic systems all his life,
he grew up in a commercial fishing
family, being taught by his father
and grandfather the importance of
such things as the variations in
tides, water temperature, storms,
and moon brightness at night on the
catchability of lobsters, conchs,
cod and other species. He has always
been sensitive to the ability for
virtually immeasurable factors to
affect the timing of movements. Changing
climate has long been of interest.

Project
Manager and Chief Editor, United
Nations Atlas of the Oceans. The Atlas
is Internet-based, with information relevant
to sustainable development of the oceans
and to advancement of science. It is designed
for policy makers, scientists and resource
managers but is also a major attraction
to the public and students. The Atlas
includes: 1. an encyclopedic About the
Oceans section from how oceans were formed,
to their physiology, biology, and climatology,
including maps and data bases; 2. the Uses of
the oceans from sources of food, livelihood,
recreation and energy to conservation,
shipping, mining; and, 3. Ocean Issues such
as food security, governance, global change,
and pollution. The Atlas is at
http://www.OceansAtlas.org
Education includes
a Doctorate and Masters from Florida State
Univ. focused on Natural Resources Management,
Research Management and on Quantitative
Methods. He has a Bachelors from the Univ.
of Massachusetts in Engineering.
