ROSS GELBSPAN

I'm so sad to learn of Ross Gelbspan's passing. I met Ross in 1999 when I attended a training by the Green House Network at Lewis & Clark College in Portland, OR to be a speaker on global warming. Ross was a rock star of the climate movement. I had great respect for him, and I'm glad to have known him. I only wish we had more powerful truth tellers and journalists with the high level of integrity that Ross had. My deepest condolences to his family and friends.

Today I am beginning the climate change book which Ross encouraged me to write. I will dedicate the book to his memory and his inspiration. It has been a year since you have passed, Ross. But your thoughts and ideas are carried forward by so many whose lives you touched.

Today I am beginning the climate book which Ross encouraged me to write. I do so in his memory and with his inspiration. It has been a year since you passed on Ross, but your thoughts and ideas are carried on by so many whose lives you touched.

We are so sorry to learn about the passing of Ross. He was quite a person and les an amazing and purposeful life. Fondly, The Shaughnessy´s 247 Kent St.

Ross was a wonderful man whom I am so grateful to have known and was able to call a friend. He changed the course of my life. It was "The Heat is On" that focused my attention on the urgency of climate change. I first met Ross in 1998, and considered him a mentor in launching my 25 year teaching career on climate change. I will miss you forever. God speed, dear Ross.

On behalf of countless U.S. citizens, thank you, Ross, for your important reporting that helped to change the world. Rest in peace. Condolences to his entire family and may your own important work flourish.

At the moment I finished reading Ross's book The Heat is On in 1997 I knew that addressing the climate threat would be my life's work. Ross helped me launch my global warming nonprofit in Missoula, Montana in 2003. The fact that he offered his assistance to me, someone with very little organizing experience, was a tremendous boost to me professionally and personally. I wish humanity had responded with intelligence and urgency to his prophetic message.

Ross had a long, distinguished gold-standard career as an investigative newspaper journalist. Ross, then, had second heart-and-soul "career" giving his all to alert the public and policy makers to the existential danger of explicitly or effectively ignoring global warming.
I am personally deeply grateful for the good fortune of sharing an enduring and rich friendship with Ross. In our elder decades, to have shared our journeys and the weight of our world in crisis was a blessing. And...
