My story

I am an independent scientist, environmentalist and writer.

My primary university degree was in Chemistry, and my PhD in computational chemistry/polymer physics. However, in 2004, I shifted to environmentalism, and began working with my father, Dr. Michael Connolly, on developing sustainable methods of fish-farming, aquaponics and waste-water treatment. We also carried out research into developing low-cost heat exchanger systems and new energy efficient building materials and techniques.

In 2009, we began systematically investigating the challenging subject of climate change in detail. After five years of this research, we realised that we had gained a lot of important insights which would be of interest to the scientific community. We set up a website, OpenPeerReviewJournal.com, where we published all our results and findings as a series of eight scientific papers.

We also realised that our findings could be of interest to the general public, and so we also set up a separate website, Globalwarmingsolved.com, in which we summarised our findings in a less technical format. My mother, Dr. Imelda Connolly, also worked with us on it.

Since then, we have met and/or discussed our findings with hundreds of scientists around the world. We have sought and received useful feedback on our research, and this has led to several useful scientific collaborations. We have written up and published the results of several of these collaborations in peer-reviewed journals (see the “Peer-reviewed publications” section for more details).

In 2018, I began working full-time on my climate change and environmental research through a new international research group, the Center for Environmental Research and Earth Sciences (CERES-Science.com).
