Idso remains actively involved in several aspects of global and environmental change, including climatology and meteorology, along with their impacts on agriculture. Idso has published scientific articles on issues related to data quality, the growing season, the seasonal cycle of atmospheric [[carbon dioxide|Шаблон:CO2]], world food supplies, coral reefs, and urban Шаблон:CO2 concentrations, the latter of which he investigated via a National Science Foundation grant as a faculty researcher in the Office of Climatology at Arizona State University. His main focus is on the environmental benefits of carbon dioxide. In addition, he has lectured in meteorology at Arizona State University, and in Physical Geography at Mesa Community College and Chandler-Gilbert Community College.[1][2]
