Everything she does, she does it for you: Georgia Tech warmist Kim Cobb heads off on another fuel-guzzling tropical Pacific climate mission

Cobb Lab Research Blog: All's well that begins well
We are officially en route to the central tropical Pacific, where we will collect modern and fossil corals, rainwaters, and seawaters in
support of our paleoclimate reconstructions from this area. The field team includes Postdoctoral Fellow Jess Conroy, University of Arizona graduate student  Diane Thompson, Georgia Tech graduate student Hussein Sayani, and undergraduate research fellow Elizabeth Wiggins. We are especially lucky that Hussein and Liz will be with us on the weekly flight to Christmas Island tomorrow, considering that their tickets to Honolulu apparently didn’t exist when we went to check in this morning! One occasion that money (and a lot of luck) can buy you happiness. Many thanks to the kind folks at Delta, and to the hundreds of ATL passengers waiting at security that we cut in front of to get Hussein and Liz on their flight. There’s never a dull moment launching an expedition, in my experience.

On Capitol Hill today with students to talk about energy and climate policy, and how paleoclimate records can save the day.

Kim Cobb flashback
she does talk about a "high" after Al Gore's Inconvenient Truth came out. She also claims that it's a certainty that human CO2 emissions are warming the planet
