Cal Fager is a self-taught environmental and climate scholar. Although interested in both weather and plants since childhood, in 1992 he found himself confronted by a question concerning plants that he could not answer. Frustrated by this lack of knowledge he began buying texts on plant biology, determined to find the answer. Soon his studies expanded to geology, atmospheric science, climatology, oceanography and environmental studies. Although holding degrees in both political and social science he sought to refresh this knowledge and explore the social and economic impacts of the rapid climatic, environmental and social changes the world is experiencing. The results of the years of study are contained in his book, Three Generations Ahead. Mr. Fager continues to study and write from his home in Arvada, Colorado, where he resides with his wife, Lynn.
