was the founding chairman (1988–97) of the UN Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change, the corecipient (with former U.S. vice president Al Gore) of the 2007 Nobel Prize for Peace. Bolin graduated (1946) from Uppsala (
Swed.) University and studied meteorology (M.S., 1949; Ph.D., 1956) at Stockholm University. As a professor of meteorology (1961–90) at Stockholm, he did significant fundamental research into the carbon cycle in nature. His ability to articulate his research findings and the threat posed by climate change earned him numerous honours, as well as his position with the IPCC and the post of scientific director at the European Space Agency. Bolin's final book,
A History of the Science and Politics of Climate Change: The Role of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change, was published shortly before his death.
