Graham Cogley wrote of Sellers and Russian climatologist Mikhail Budyko's work: "These works have been tremendously influential upon the thinking of most climatologists, and have been invaluable in explaining the atmospheric engine to several generations of students.
Most of the changes which we expect in our world in the near future will involve some aspect of physical climatology.
