A video series of his 26 lectures Physics10 from 2006 are posted on the UC Berkley YouTube website.
He has a new book, Energy for Future Presidents: The Science Behind the Headlines published in 2012. He was a former climate change sceptic but changed his mind based on an exhaustive analysis of the current historical temperature data. This is his New York Times opinion piece "The Conversion of a Climate-Change Skeptic" published in July of 2012. The best match for the temperature change data over the past 250 years is a combination of changes in carbon dioxide levels and incidents of volcanic activity.
