My granddad died yesterday from COVID-19. He was an atmospheric physicist and committed Christian who devoted his career to climate justice, including chairing the IPCC and changing the mind of a major U.S. evangelical lobbyist. I want to tell you a bit about his life's work.

OH! A favourite memory to ruin the end of this sentimental thread: as his dementia got worse, most names disappeared. But one name he did not forget: Trump. One of the last times I saw him, when most family names were gone, it was "Trump! Trump is an idiot! A dangerous idiot!"

He got to live his final years by the sea in Wales, which was perhaps the place (apart from dragging people up 'shortcuts' on Welsh mountains) that he loved most of all. He slowly lost a lot of memories and faculties to dementia, but the sea remained with him. A good life.

He faced a lifetime of lobbyists and corporations trying to undermine his work, question his motives, and distract from evidence. But my other consistent memory will be his deep faith that he was doing work in service of the God he loved, and in service of the world he loved.

He committed to his faith at university, becoming interested in how faith and science intersected: "science was a voyage of discovery to the way the universe worked, and it was God’s universe, then it was studying the works of God, and that’s something that stuck with me"

He went to Rhyl Grammar School where his dad was a teacher. He LOVED physics - or as he put it, learning how the world worked. He loved it so much that he got the highest marks in Wales on his school certificate and got a scholarship to go to Oxford University at 16.
