Skeptics

Science is skepticism. If someone isn't a skeptic, then they're not a scientist: they're a politician.

Science is skepticism. If someone isn't a skeptic, then they're not a scientist: they're a politician. The point isn't who is on this list, but who isn't. Anyone dismissing Nobel laureates and Career Scientists on this list, had better have the facts (not just the pedigree) to back it up. If they don't, they are the deniers, polemics or cult followers.

🗒️ Note:
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.

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[edit | edit source]

Climate skeptics denied free speech - When the facts are in the way of a leftist agenda, they want to suppress the facts, and people that speak them. If they cared about the whole truth, they wouldn't fear the other side; they know the facts would come out, and their side would win. They either don't trust people, or they don't trust the facts... or both. That's why the silence skeptics.
Freeman Dyson - Freeman Dyson is widely considered one of the world's most distinguished scientists, with 21 honorary degrees, 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.
Fred Singer - Fred Singer is an Austrian-born American physicist with a highly accomplished pedigree in Climate Science; emeritus professor of environmental science at the University of Virginia and George Mason University, Author/editor of a dozen+ books, 200 technical papers in peer-reviewed scientific journals, and an AGW Skeptic.
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.
Roy Spencer - Principal research scientist at the U of Alabama, created satellite-based temp monitoring for NASA, Climate Skeptic (e.g. the threat is overstated).
William Happer - William Happer is an American physicist who has specialized in the study of atomic physics, optics and spectroscopy. Professor of Physics, Emeritus, at Princeton University. Director of the Department of Energy's Office of Science. Trump appointed him to the Committee on the threat of Global Warming, so NYT, WaPo and FakeNews outlets tried to label him a climate denier.
