Gould One of Three Amici Curiae on Global Warming-Related Brief, and Other Activities

Laurence I. Gould, professor of physics, A&S, was one of three Amici Curiae on a global warming-related brief (arguing against a reduction of carbon dioxide) by Petitioners to the Supreme Court of the United States. The brief pertained to a Support of Petitioners On Writ of Certiorari to the United States Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit—American Electric Power Company, Inc., et al. (the Petitioners) versus State of Connecticut, et al. The brief was accepted by the U.S. Supreme Court (February 2011) and ruled on in favor of the Petitioners (June 2011). Brief filed by the Southeastern Legal Foundation, Inc.

In addition, Gould was called on to review a proposal for a book titled Evidence-Based Climate Science: Data Opposing CO2 Emissions as the Primary Source of Global Warming (Elsevier, 2011).

He also was one of the signatories on a letter—In reply to “The Importance of Science in Addressing Climate Change”—that was sent to the Members of the U.S. House of Representatives and the U.S. Senate (2/8/11). See the letter.

Gould was asked to write the introduction for a book that was published this year: Biological and Quantum Computing for Human Vision: Holonomic Models and Applications, by Mitja Peruš and Chu Kiong Loo (Medical Information Science Reference of IGI Global).

And finally, Gould will be listed in Who's Who in America: 2012 Edition.
