Rodney completed a BSc in Physics from the University of New Brunswick and subsequently worked as a research assistant for UNB in a CO2 laser lab before attending University of Toronto on an NSERC scholarship where he completed an MASc in electrical engineering. His graduate work was modeling and simulation of a semiconductor device-physics industrial problem, a solution he later presented at an international modeling and simulation conference in Pittsburg. He has spent over 35 years working in industry in telecom chip design, fiber-optics, computing, and LED lighting. He was involved in modeling and simulation activity for some of the projects he worked on including writing an Excel-based simulator 15 years ago to solve a complex electrical network problem.

In 2022, Rodney took on a personal challenge to see if he could calculate the temperature rise for an increase in GHGs. His interest became an obsession which led to his development of a comprehensive tool he calls GHG Lab that implements his understanding of the GHG physics and a website called Climate Bell to share it with others. Now, anyone even without any physics understanding, can use his GHG Lab tool to compute Earth’s temperature change from a change in GHG levels. The tool has produced interesting and good-news results that he wishes to share with threatened industries so they can defend their interests against unnecessary climate-change mandates. He has also setup an open peer review forum so scientists can publicly comment too.
