1/31/2013; 13 minutes

Beginning his career as an engineer at a refrigeration plant in India, Veerabhadran Ramanathan went on to make one of the most important climate change discoveries when he identified chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs) as an even larger contributor to global warming than the previously identified culprit, carbon dioxide. This four-part series follows the Scripps Institution of Oceanography scientist's remarkable path that changed the face of climate change research and has introduced possibilities for human-scale solutions.
