Koben Christianson is an amateur climate change communicator, an occasional sustainability scientist, and a dabbling eco-entrepreneur.  His latest research has delved into how to optimally design a global “per-capita” emission entitlement system, which could cap and cut the amount of greenhouse gases that are being polluted into the sky by humans while simultaneously promoting international equity and sustainable development.   Dr. Kyle “Wyatt Earp” Dawson works at a federal government research laboratory in California.  An astrophysicist by profession, educated at Berkeley and Cornell, he maps the universe, thinks about supernovas, and designs high-tech spacecraft.  The Hubble Space Telescope and the Keck optical telescope in Hawaii are his favorite telescopes to use.  While in Nunavik he bought some walrus ivory artwork for his dearly beloved.
