"Historical" presentation by Dr. Daniel L. Albritton (now retired), former Director of NOAA Aeronomy Laboratory (now the Chemical Sciences Division of NOAA's Earth System Research Laboratory), reporting in early 2001 on the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change: 2001 report on Climate.

This testimony on climate change research was presented before the U.S. House of Representatives Committee on Science, 14 March 2001. A detailed account of the hearing was prepared by the NOAA Office of Legislative Affairs.

Since this 2001 presentation, the state of understanding regarding climate science has been updated with the release of the 2007 Fourth Assessment Report of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC). We have left Dr. Albritton's historical presentation on our website to showcase the clear, succinct, and timely hand-drawn information that Dan made famous.
