Robbins, both scientists at the Stanford Research Institute at the time, wrote a report for the American Petroleum Institute in 1968 that described rising CO2 levels in the atmosphere. The report said the likely cause was the burning of fossil fuels and that \u201cthe potential damage to our environment could be severe.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>That report and a supplement published in 1969 have subsequently <a href=\"https:\/\/e360.yale.edu\/features\/climate-lawsuits-oil-industry-research\">taken on an important role<\/a> in a wave of lawsuits filed against oil producers claiming they misled the public about the dangers posed by fossil fuels.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Robinson joined WSU&#8217;s Laboratory for Atmospheric Research in 1972 and stayed until 1985. He died in 2016.<\/p>\n\n    <\/div><\/section>\n\n<div class=\"wsu-container wsu-position--relative wsu-spacing-before--large wsu-spacing-after--large\" >\r\n    \n<div class=\"wsu-decorator  wsu-decorator--style-lines-crimson\" style=\"top:0;bottom:0;left:0;right:0;height:auto;width:auto\"><\/div>\n\n\n<div style=\"height:62px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n<\/div>\n\n<div class=\"wsu-container\" >\r\n    \n\n<h2 class=\"wsu-gcs-page-header wp-block-heading\"><strong>More<\/strong> Go Cougs Means<\/h2>\n\n\n<div class=\"wsu-card-wrapper wsu-spacing-before--xmedium wsu-card-wrapper--per-row-3\" >\r\n    \n<article class=\"wsu-card\">\r\n\t\t<div class=\"wsu-image-frame wsu-image--ratio-4-3\">\r\n\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/gocougs.wsu.edu\/means\/facing-the-challenge\/\" tabindex=\"-1\" aria-hidden=\"true\">\t\t\t<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/wpcdn.web.wsu.edu\/wp-wpsites\/uploads\/sites\/3198\/2024\/03\/Mumbai-raining-scaled.jpeg\"\r\n\t\t\t\tsrcset=\"https:\/\/wpcdn.web.wsu.edu\/wp-wpsites\/uploads\/sites\/3198\/2024\/03\/Mumbai-raining-scaled.jpeg 2560w, https:\/\/wpcdn.web.wsu.edu\/wp-wpsites\/uploads\/sites\/3198\/2024\/03\/Mumbai-raining-396x242.jpeg 396w, https:\/\/wpcdn.web.wsu.edu\/wp-wpsites\/uploads\/sites\/3198\/2024\/03\/Mumbai-raining-792x484.jpeg 792w, https:\/\/wpcdn.web.wsu.edu\/wp-wpsites\/uploads\/sites\/3198\/2024\/03\/Mumbai-raining-768x469.jpeg 768w, https:\/\/wpcdn.web.wsu.edu\/wp-wpsites\/uploads\/sites\/3198\/2024\/03\/Mumbai-raining-1536x938.jpeg 1536w, https:\/\/wpcdn.web.wsu.edu\/wp-wpsites\/uploads\/sites\/3198\/2024\/03\/Mumbai-raining-2048x1251.jpeg 2048w, https:\/\/wpcdn.web.wsu.edu\/wp-wpsites\/uploads\/sites\/3198\/2024\/03\/Mumbai-raining-198x121.jpeg 198w\"\r\n\t\t\t\tsizes=\"(max-width: 2560px) 100vw, 2560px\"\r\n\t\t\t\talt=\"\"\r\n\t\t\t\tstyle=\"object-position: 30% 27%\"\r\n\t\t\t\/>\r\n\t\t<\/a>\t<\/div>\r\n\t\t<div class=\"wsu-card__content\">\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<h3 class=\"wsu-title \">\r\n\t\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/gocougs.wsu.edu\/means\/facing-the-challenge\/\">\t\t\t\tFacing the challenge\t\t\t<\/a>\t\t<\/h3>\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"wsu-caption\">\r\n\t\t\t\tAt Washington State University, more than 60 departments are active in climate-related research, work that in many cases has been under way for decades.\t\t\t<\/div>\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\r\n\t<\/article>\n\n<article class=\"wsu-card\">\r\n\t\t<div class=\"wsu-image-frame wsu-image--ratio-4-3\">\r\n\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/gocougs.wsu.edu\/means\/teaching\/\" tabindex=\"-1\" aria-hidden=\"true\">\t\t\t<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/wpcdn.web.wsu.edu\/wp-wpsites\/uploads\/sites\/3198\/2024\/03\/ChrisClarke-store-scaled.jpg\"\r\n\t\t\t\tsrcset=\"https:\/\/wpcdn.web.wsu.edu\/wp-wpsites\/uploads\/sites\/3198\/2024\/03\/ChrisClarke-store-scaled.jpg 2560w, https:\/\/wpcdn.web.wsu.edu\/wp-wpsites\/uploads\/sites\/3198\/2024\/03\/ChrisClarke-store-396x264.jpg 396w, https:\/\/wpcdn.web.wsu.edu\/wp-wpsites\/uploads\/sites\/3198\/2024\/03\/ChrisClarke-store-792x528.jpg 792w, https:\/\/wpcdn.web.wsu.edu\/wp-wpsites\/uploads\/sites\/3198\/2024\/03\/ChrisClarke-store-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/wpcdn.web.wsu.edu\/wp-wpsites\/uploads\/sites\/3198\/2024\/03\/ChrisClarke-store-1536x1024.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/wpcdn.web.wsu.edu\/wp-wpsites\/uploads\/sites\/3198\/2024\/03\/ChrisClarke-store-2048x1365.jpg 2048w, https:\/\/wpcdn.web.wsu.edu\/wp-wpsites\/uploads\/sites\/3198\/2024\/03\/ChrisClarke-store-198x132.jpg 198w\"\r\n\t\t\t\tsizes=\"(max-width: 2560px) 100vw, 2560px\"\r\n\t\t\t\talt=\"\"\r\n\t\t\t\tstyle=\"object-position: 50% 50%\"\r\n\t\t\t\/>\r\n\t\t<\/a>\t<\/div>\r\n\t\t<div class=\"wsu-card__content\">\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<h3 class=\"wsu-title \">\r\n\t\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/gocougs.wsu.edu\/means\/teaching\/\">\t\t\t\tTeaching outside the box\t\t\t<\/a>\t\t<\/h3>\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"wsu-caption\">\r\n\t\t\t\tChris Clarke uses TikTok to learn \u2013 and to teach.
