Who built this

J. Scott Osberg and Sarah C. Stiles — the people behind Orange Sky Alert.

J. Scott Osberg — PhD (Political Science)
I have followed climate politics for thirty years but have never worked on climate for pay. This project is independent — not affiliated with any employer.

My published research is in rehabilitation medicine, childhood trauma, and traffic safety. From 1998 to 2010, I was the Research Director at the AAA Foundation for Traffic Safety.

Sarah C. Stiles — PhD (Political Science), JD (International Law).
Georgetown University professor emerita specializing in Law and Society.

I have taught college students about climate change since the early 1990s. My students are often shocked by the political intransigence surrounding climate legislation and policy. Citizens deserve to know who is blocking meaningful action—and why political leaders aren’t doing more to make that obstruction clear.
