      Hi kathryn,

      No… the closest I got to it was looking at water in the upper atmosphere during my PhD but then I left climate science for other bits of science… I’ve also done some work looking at how climate change will affect heath in the developing world (answer: probably catastrophically).

      I do think that the environment is really important and I worry a lot about what will happen in the future. Thankfully there are more and more scientists working on this (I know some of them!) and hopefully we can avoid the worst impacts of climate change…
