Singer is a climate physicist and is internationally known for his work on climate, energy, and environmental issues.  He is Distinguished Research Professor at George Mason University.  He is also president of The Science & Environmental Policy Project.  Avery is a senior fellow of the Hudson Institute and prior to that he was a senior analyst in the U.S. Department of State (1980-1988), where he won the National Intelligence Medal of Achievement 1983.
