Hayhoes professional credentials are equally fierce. She is the director of the Texas Tech office of the South Central Climate Science Center, a regional research hub supported by the federal government. She has worked on assessment reports with the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change. Hayhoe speaks with resource professionals, such as water managers, on preparing city and regional infrastructure to increased heat or drought, and other impacts of the destabilized climate. Hayhoes name appears on a healthy number of scientific publications, which have been cited by other researchers over 5,700 times. (She also chats it up with journalists; I first met her at the Society of Environmental Journalisms 2012 conference in Lubbock, Texas.) But Hayhoe may be best-known to the general public because of how shes bridging the broad, deep, here-be-dragons gap between scientists and conservative Christians - work she does in part because shes a conservative Christian herself.
