Climate Skeptics when you understand the facts, there's nothing to be afraid of.
Science is skepticism. If someone isn't a skeptic, then they're not a scientist: they're a politician. So the point isn't who is on this list, but who isn't. If anyone is dismissing Nobel laureates and Career Scientists on this list (like Fred Singer, Freeman Dyson, Ivar Giaever, William Happer, and so on), then I want to see their credentials or evidence. If they don't have any, then they're the deniers, polemics or cult followers who can be ignored.


People that argue consensus are missing that the bandwagon fallacy or appeal to authority fallacy are not persuasive to the rational/informed. Consensus/popularity is politics. Science IS skepticism. If they have no pedigree, accomplishments or evidence, then they're just cherry picking their data (another logical fallacy).

List of Climate Skeptics

Climate Skeptics : 4 items


Fred Singer -
S Fred Singer 2011.jpg
Fred Singer is an Austrian-born American physicist (Ph.D. in physics from Princeton University), established the National Weather Bureau's Satellite Service Center, founding dean of the University of Miami School of Environmental and Planetary Sciences, ex deputy assistant administrator for the Environmental Protection Agency, ex chief scientist for the Department of Transportation, and emeritus professor of environmental science at the University of Virginia and George Mason University. Author/editor of a dozen+ books, and published more than 200 technical papers in peer-reviewed scientific journals.

Freeman Dyson -
Freeman Dyson (2005).jpg
Freeman Dyson is an emeritus professor of physics at the Institute for Advanced Studies at Princeton. Widely considered one of the world's most distinguished scientists, he has 21 honorary degrees and is most famous for his work in quantum mechanics, solid-state physics, and nuclear engineering. Dyson is a member of the Board of Sponsors of The Bulletin of the Atomic Scientists. After studying the Climate Models, and IPCC conclusions based on them, he believes they are junk, as are the political efforts to reduce causes of climate change.

Ivar Giaever -
Ivar Giæver.jpg
Ivar Giaever, Nobel laureate, Professor emeritus of physics at the Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute, professor-at-large at the University of Oslo, and president of Applied Biophysics. Fellow of the American Physical Society who resigned to protest over its alarmist statements about climate change. To quote him, "Is climate change pseudoscience? If I'm going to answer the question, the answer is: absolutely."

William Happer -

Happer is an American physicist who has specialized in the study of atomic physics, optics and spectroscopy. Professor of Physics, Emeritus, at Princeton University, long-term member of the JASON advisory group, where he pioneered the development of adaptive optics. Director of the Department of Energy's Office of Science (1991-1993). Trump appointed him to the Commitee on the threat of Global Warming, so NYT, WaPo and far left FakeNews outlets tried to label him a climate denier. (He knows more about the Science of the climate than any of his accusers).

Even more

Here's studies or groups that oppose claims of AGW, or admit that there's been extremist claims:

  • PetitionProject: 31,487 American Scientists (9,029 Ph.D's), signed up as skeptics[1]
  • A hit list of the enemies of the Church of Climatology is being tracked to pressure Scientists from exposing the truth. That's not Science, that's politics of hate and intolerance. [2]
  • NASA has some leaders that promote Climate Change Hype for government money... but their Scientists usually disagree with their management. [3]

Climate skeptics denied free speech

The left is a crusader for free speech. Wait, you understand that man-made global warming is an exaggerated crisis? Burn the witch! The Obama Administration and many state's Attorney's General banded together to bring lawsuits against corporations who disagreed with the mythical climate consensus, and was threatening to do the same to individuals. Multiple others on the left were floating trial balloons on laws to oppress or persecute Climate Skeptics. While far left tech places (Facebook, Google, Wikipedia) were falsely de-ranking or shadow banning climate skeptics stories, no matter how accurate.

Conclusion

If you think you know more than these folks, or they're all sell-outs to the oil companies, I want your evidence. That's incredibly bold and ignorant statement, that nobody on the other side is informed or has integrity -- those kind of assumptions scream ignorant fanaticism. So when someone claims the skeptics are all malinformed or lack professional integrity, they need to be challenged to make society a better place.
