Dr. Comings is a physician, behavioral and molecular geneticist who was the Director of the Department of Medical Genetics at the City of Hope National Medical Center for 37 years before retiring in 2002. He is an internationally known scientist-physician who has written over 490 scientific articles and five books. His research included human behavioral and molecular genetics, specializing in Tourette Syndrome and ADHD in children. He was past editor of the American Journal of Human Genetics and past president of the American Society of Human Genetics. He served on several grant review boards including NIH Genetics Board and the March of Dimes Basal O’Connor Grants.
After he retired, he turned his research interests to climate change and global warming and set up a non-profit TheComingsFoundation.org devoted to combating global warming. He is very concerned about the anti-climate change policies of the Trump Administration. His latest book is “The Science of Global Warming. Four Ways to Fix It.” A major purpose of this book was to show climate change deniers, including those in the Trump Administration, that the science strongly supports the reality of climate change and global warming, that it is due to the burning of fossil fuels, and with great effort, it is fixable. The book describes in detail four approaches to combating global warming emphasizing CDR (Carbon Dioxide Removal and safe sequestration). It has been estimated that it will be necessary to remove 10 gigatons of CO2 per year up to 2050 and 20 gigatons per year until 2100 and on. These four CDR’s can do that.
The book also points out that our youth are at the greatest risk of climate change. If no efforts are made now to combat global warming global temperatures are likely to be 3oC to 4oC or more, higher than preindustrial time and by the time our youth are in their 60’s to 80’s - with draconian results. It is of note that we are currently putting CO2 into the atmosphere 10 x faster than occurred with the “the Great Dying” of the Permian-Triassic Extinction, the world’s greatest extinction event.
The book is due out the end of August 2025. An earlier version
If I Were a Billionaire, these are the Four Things I Would do to Combat Global Warming and Help Save the Planet. The Science of Global Warming is available on Amazon.
