Skeptic quotes Jack Eddyfier 2021 112 quotes, by 100 scientists with doctorates “Man indeed may be a pygmy before nature and incapable of causing or reversing a global warming or climate change. To err on Dr Arun Ahluwalia: the side of caution let us presume man may be contributing a minor fraction towards warming of the earth. The planet has a great resilience we must not however forget.” “… climate change, or temperature, has been rising. Somehow the IPCC decided that the increase in the last 100 years is due to the Dr Syun-Ichi greenhouse effect; however, a significant part of that would be just Akasofu: due to natural change. So, even if we spend lots of money on suppressing CO2 release, it wouldn’t do any good, because it’s a natural change.” “Global warming may be real, but there’s hardly a shred of good Dr Ralph B. scientific evidence that it has very much to do with the amount of Alexander: CO2 we’re producing, or even that temperatures have risen as much as warmists say.” “The assertion that the recent rapid rise of CO2 is unique and dangerous is both deceptive and irrelevant because CO2 does not Dr William JR drive the world’s climate, ... there is clearly no evidence for the Alexander: CO2-based theory of global warming. Indeed, there is only evidence against it.” Climate change has happened, is happening and will always happen. Contrary to the message of the last thirty years, current Dr Tim Ball: rate of climate change is well within the bounds of natural variability. Thus, a perfectly natural phenomenon became the biggest deception in history. The IPCC notes that “No significant acceleration in the rate of sea Dr Robert Balling: level rise during the 20th century has been detected.” This did not appear in the IPCC Summary for Policymakers. ... any increase in the carbon dioxide content of the atmosphere Dr Jack Barrett: will not affect the average temperature of the troposphere

“Rising levels of airborne carbon dioxide don’t cause global Dr Lucka Bogataj: temperatures to rise…. temperature changed first and some 700 years later a change in aerial content of carbon dioxide followed.” “All this argument is the temperature going up or not, it’s absurd… Of course it’s going up. It has gone up since the early 1800s, before Dr Reid Bryson: the Industrial Revolution, because we’re coming out of the Little Ice Age, not because we’re putting more carbon dioxide into the air.” “Little known to the public is the fact that most of the scientists involved with the IPCC do not agree that global warming is Dr John Christy: occurring. Its findings have been consistently misrepresented and/or politicized with each succeeding report.” “The Earth has supported abundant life many times in the geological past when there were much higher levels of carbon Dr Ian Clark: dioxide in the atmosphere. It is quite likely that future generations will benefit from the enrichment of Earth’s atmosphere with more carbon dioxide.” Dr Rosa “Humans have only contributed a few tenths of a degree to Compagnucci: warming on Earth. Solar activity is a key driver of climate.” “The data from the weather balloons has shown quite categorically there is no greenhouse effect. Increasing greenhouse Dr Michael gases will increase the rate of adsorption but because the Connolly: atmosphere is in internal dynamic equilibrium it also increases the rate of emission. The net effect is none.” “Depending on which published data and studies you use, you can show that all of the warming is caused by the sun, but the IPCC Dr Ronan uses a different data set to come up with the opposite conclusion, ... Connolly: In their insistence on forcing a so-called scientific consensus, the IPCC seems to have decided to consider only those data sets and studies that support their chosen narrative,” “Together with Jean-Louis Le Mouël and some Russian colleagues, we have shown that some specific features of the magnetic field were remarkably well correlated with some variations in the sun’s activity – which in itself was not surprising – but the fact that it Dr Vincent also correlated with the mean global temperature of the lower Courtillot: atmosphere came to us as a real surprise. This is how I started to get interested in climatology at the decadal to centennial time scale, an area which is not my specialty, though I had already encountered climatologists at the million year time scale with the Indian volcanism.” Dr Richard “The empirical evidence strongly indicates that the anthropogenic Courtney: global warming hypothesis is wrong.” “I’m not going to just spout off and endorse the IPCC because I Dr Judith Curry: don’t have confidence in the process.”

“Global temperatures have not been changing as state of the art climate models predicted they would. Not a single mention of Dr Robert Davis: satellite temperature observations appears in the IPCC Summary for Policymakers.” “Government decision-makers should have heard by now that the basis for the long-standing claim that carbon dioxide is a major driver of global climate is being questioned; along with it the Dr Chris de hitherto assumed need for costly measures to restrict carbon Freitas: dioxide emissions. If they have not heard, it is because of the din of global warming hysteria that relies on the logical fallacy of ‘argument from ignorance’ and predictions of computer models.” “In 1996 the IPCC listed me as one of approximately 3000 “scientists” who agreed that there was a discernible human Dr Willem de influence on climate. I didn’t. There is no evidence to support the Lange: hypothesis that runaway catastrophic climate change is due to human activities.” “Projections of sea-level rise are based on projections of future warming, fifty or a hundred years hence. And these projections are based on speculative computer models that have numerous Dr David Deming: uncertainties, ... These models cannot even be tested; their validity is completely unknown. In short, predictions of future sea-level rise are nothing but sheer speculation” “Using a flawed eddy diffusion model, the IPCC has grossly Dr Peter Dietze: underestimated the future oceanic carbon dioxide uptake.” “The observed pattern of warming, comparing surface and atmospheric temperature trends, does not show the characteristic fingerprint associated with greenhouse warming. The inescapable conclusion is that the human contribution is not significant and that observed increases in carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gases make only a negligible contribution to climate warming.” Dr David Douglass: “Have the models been successful in predicting anything? They, of course, predict substantial global warming. This is not surprising given the expressed belief of some of the model builders in the global warming Hypothesis and the many parameters in the model that need to be introduced. However, the models also predict unambiguously that the atmosphere is warming faster than the surface of the earth; but all the available observational data unambiguously shows the opposite!” “The PhD system is the real root of the evil of academic snobbery. People who have PhDs consider themselves a priesthood, and inventors generally don't have PhDs” Professor emeritus “My first heresy says that all the fuss about global warming is Freeman Dyson: grossly exaggerated. Here I am opposing the holy brotherhood of climate model experts and the crowd of deluded citizens who believe the numbers predicted by the computer models.” [13] 3
“Fluctuations of the solar magnetic field provide the answer to the Professor Emeritus long contentious issue of the basic cause of climate changes and the Don Easterbrook: origin of the Ice Ages” [DE] “Time variations of global mean temperature and concentrations of carbon dioxide over the last century are very poorly correlated even though both had been rising. In fact, the mean global surface temperature actually declined from 1942 to 1975 while carbon Dr Hugh W. dioxide in the atmosphere steadily increased due to man’s Ellsaesser: emissions. In addition though no one is bothered to tell you, the main global surface of 1998 has not been reached or exceeded since 1998. Now, doesn’t that mean the earth has been cooling since 1998?” Dr Christopher “Scientists don’t need to be paid to oppose the ideas of climate Essex: orthodoxy, because those ideas are just so damn bad.” [CE] There has not been a public debate about the causes of global warming and most of the public and our decision makers are not aware of the most basic salient facts: 1. The greenhouse signature is missing. We have been looking and Dr David Evans: measuring for years, and cannot find it... 2. There is no evidence to support the idea that carbon emissions cause significant global warming. None. [DE2] “It is time for a reality check. The oceans and coastal zones have been far warmer and colder than is projected in the present scenarios of climate change. I have reviewed the IPCC and more Dr John Everett: recent scientific literature and believe that there is not a problem with increased acidification, even up to the unlikely levels in the most-used IPCC scenarios.” “Between the years 2010 and 2012 the data measured since 1881 were altered so that they showed a significant warming, Emeritus professor especially after 1950…. A comparison of the data from 2010 with Friedrich-Karl the data of 2012 shows that NASA–GISS had altered its own Ewert: datasets so that especially after WWII, a clear warming appears – although it never existed.” [FKE1], [FKE2] “there is no propensity for CO2 to store heat in a systematic way Dr. Rex J. Fleming: over time to produce a climate change effect (as defined in the introduction)” Dr Oliver “Much more progress is necessary regarding our current Frauenfeld: understanding of climate and our abilities to model it.” “I do not believe we are talking about science here today; we are talking about the speculation of scientists, and that is very different. I am concerned that the global public, certainly in the Dr Stewart Franks: western world, is being railroaded into this notion of disastrous climate change for which there is no empirical evidence.

Dr Eigil FriisChristensen:
Dr Lee Gerhard:
Dr Gerhard Gerlich:
Actually, there are very real consequences to many climate policies being put forward. We have seen this recently with the increase in biofuels and the use of good, productive agricultural land in producing biofuels for the decadent west, which it has been estimated has lead to a 50 per cent 70 per cent increase in food prices over the past year or two” [SF] “The IPCC refused to consider the sun’s effect on the Earth’s climate as a topic worthy of investigation. The IPCC conceived its task only as investigating potential human causes of climate change.” “I never fully accepted or denied the anthropogenic global warming concept until the furore started after NASA’s James Hansen’s wild claims in the late 1980s. I went to the [scientific] literature to study the basis of the claim, starting with first principles. My studies then led me to believe that the claims were false.” “Global temperature peaked in 1998 on the current 60-80 year cycle, and has been episodically declining ever since. This cooling absolutely falsifies claims that human carbon dioxide emissions are a controlling factor in Earth temperature.” [LCG] “The main strategy of modern CO2-greenhouse gas defenders seems to hide themselves behind more and more pseudo explanations, which are not part of the academic education or even of the physics training.” [GG] I would say that, basically, global warming is a non-problem.
Professor emeritus Ivar Giaever: Is climate change pseudoscience? If I'm going to answer the question, the answer is: absolutely. “Global Warming/Climate Change began as a scientific discussion. It has evolved into a polarizing political argument (whenever a scientific understanding depends on a ‘consensus’, we know it has become political), and from there to a semi-religious campaign Emeritus professor advanced by well-intended people who feel, deep in their hearts, Robert that they are ‘saving the planet’. Many of those people have chosen Giegengack: to allow their good intentions to override their scientific objectivity. As soon as people who disagree about scientific conclusions start calling each other pejorative names, we know that the discussion has become primarily political, not scientific.” [RG] “Climate change is unlikely to be the world’s most important environmental problem of the 21st century. There is no signal in the Dr Indur Goklany: mortality data to indicate increases in the overall frequencies or severities of extreme weather events, despite large increases in the population at risk.” “The [IPCC] climate change statement is an orchestrated litany of Dr Vincent Gray: lies.” 5
“At first I was trapped by the authority of those publicizing the Global Warming theory. It was only by slow degrees that I became convinced that one aspect of its claims after another was without scientific foundation. I reached my current assessment that everything about it is a scam, a fraud, and a conspiracy, which violates every possible principal of physics, mathematics, elementary logic and ordinary honesty.” The society has officially taken a position many of us AMS members do not agree with. We believe that humans are having little or no significant influence on the global climate and that the Professor William many Global Circulation Climate Model (GCMs) results and the Gray: four IPCC reports do not realistically give accurate future projections. To take this position which so many of its members do not necessarily agree with shows that the AMS is following more of a political than a scientific agenda,” [WG] “I, and many other scientists, think the warming will be small Dr William compared [with] the natural fluctuations in the earth’s Happer: temperature, and that the warming and increased CO2 will be good for mankind.” “Claims such as ‘2500 of the world’s leading scientists have reached a consensus that human activities are having a Dr Mike Hulme: significant influence on the climate’ are disingenuous … The actual number of scientists who backed that claim was only a few dozen.” “There are many factors which cause climate change. Considering Dr Kiminori Itoh: only greenhouse gases is nonsense and harmful.” “There is no proven link between human activity and global Dr Yuri Izrael: warming. I think the panic over global warming is totally unjustified. There is no serious threat to the climate.” “Temperature measurements show that the climate modelpredicted mid-troposphere hot zone is non-existent. This is more Dr Steven Japar: than sufficient to invalidate global climate models and projections made with them.” ... available temperature data (foundation) are subject to error. The magnitude of error is in a range where referencing this data makes Dr. Andreas Karl: no scientific sense. ..., climate science, which focuses solely on the effect of anthropogenic CO2, remains a pseudo-science. “This number [of receding glaciers reported by the IPCC] is not Dr Georg Kaser: just a little bit wrong, it is far out by any order of magnitude … It is so wrong that it is not even worth discussing.” “Global warming is indeed a scam, perpetrated by scientists with Professor Martin vested interests, but in need of crash courses in geology, logic and Keeley: the philosophy of science. It provides the media with a new scare story, which has been picked up by the focus groups and turned

into the new religion, offering us hell if we don't all change our ways.” “I’m not holding my breath for criticism to be taken on board, which underscores a fault in the whole peer review process for the IPCC: there is no chance of a chapter [of the IPCC report] ever being rejected for publication, no matter how flawed it might be.” “I have carefully analysed adverse impacts of climate change as projected by the IPCC and have discounted these claims as exaggerated and lacking any supporting evidence.” “The alarmist passages in the IPCC Summary for Policymakers have been skewed through an elaborate and sophisticated process of spin-doctoring.” “There is no scientific merit to be found in the Executive Summary. The presentation sounds like something put together by Greenpeace activists and their legal department.” “I cannot in good faith continue to contribute to a process that I view as both being motivated by pre-conceived agendas and being scientifically unsound.” “It is of course, the global warming scam, with the (literally) trillions of dollars driving it, that has corrupted so many scientists, and has carried APS before it like a rogue wave. It is the greatest and most successful pseudoscientific fraud I have seen in my long life as a physicist.” “The IPCC process is driven by politics rather than science. It uses summaries to misrepresent what scientists say and exploits public ignorance.” “Scientists who dissent from the alarmism have seen their grant funds disappear, their work derided, and themselves libeled as industry stooges, scientific hacks or worse. Consequently, lies about climate change gain credence even when they fly in the face of the science that supposedly is their basis.” “Surface temperature changes over the past century have been episodic and modest and there has been no net global warming for over a decade now. The case for alarm regarding climate change is grossly overstated.” “I am doing a detailed assessment of the IPCC reports and the Summaries for Policy Makers, identifying the way in which the Summaries have distorted the science. I have found examples of a summary saying precisely the opposite of what the scientists said.” “I became troubled by what seemed to be a preference to view the climate as a global stable state, unless perturbed by anthropogenic effects, rather than as a highly complex system having several dominant states, each having a characteristic return period 7
imposed on gradual change at millennial scale. The research of H.H. Lamb and others on the natural changes of regional and global climate of the Holocene appeared to be no longer of interest, and the evidence for anthropogenic climate change was being discussed as if it was reducible to change in a single value that represented global surface temperature.” The current state of the scientific literature gives no reason to fear dangerous global warming due to increasing CO2. Evidence of Prof Horstanthropogenic global warming is still pending. This claim of Joachim Lüdecke: warming caused by anthropogenic CO2 is based on mere model calculations, which are based on questionable assumptions and the accuracy of which has not yet been confirmed. The industrial signal started only in 1850. Geology does back Dr. Sebastian millions of years. I looked at the geological evidence ... There are Lüning: natural cycles ... Climate cycles are in synchronicity with solar activity ... How can that be ignored? Dr Martin “Some government delegates influencing the IPCC Summary for Manning: Policymakers misrepresent or contradict the lead authors.” “Many of us know that there is little to no quality assurance of much of the environmental science that comes out of universities Dr Jennifer across the Western world. Yet academics are the new demigods, Marohasy: revered by so many while often just making stuff-up to fit the zeitgeist. So many within the university system that have tried to speak-up have been silenced, and then sacked.” “The many references in the popular media to a ‘consensus of Dr Stephen thousands of scientists’ are both a great exaggeration and also McIntyre: misleading.” “The rates of warming, on multiple time scales, have now Dr Patrick invalidated the suite of IPCC climate models. No, the science is not Michaels: settled.” “The reason why anybody would want to perpetrate the Global Dr Ziggy Warming Hoax is that it is the perfect reason for insisting on ZERO Modrzejewski: carbon emissions. The zero carbon emissions implementation will destroy the global economy.” “The climate modeling hasn't led to any new yet reliable insights. In those 50 years, while the short-term weather models have made some progress, the long-term models have made virtually none and it is especially the case of the question about the magnitude of the influence of CO2 on the climate. All the relevant quantities (like the Dr Lubos Motl: climate sensitivity) remained about as uncertain as when these modelling efforts were launched and the claim about the "reliable prediction of global warming" is a pure lie.” “I think that the typical people inclined to accept this climate faith no longer even pretend that they care about science much.”

“These activists are parasitic pests that are devouring everything they can even though they haven't built any of these things.” Dr Nils-Axel “If you go around the globe, you find no sea level rise anywhere.” Morner: Dr. Mototaka Nakamura (climate “Our models are Mickey-Mouse mockeries of the real world” modeler): “The climate science was as wrong 45 years ago (when many thought that a global Ice Age is immanent within 30 years) as it's Dr Ned Nikolov: now, when most academics naively believe that human trace-gas emissions can warm the planet based on a conjectural unphysical concept from the 19th Century!” “The IPCC has become too political. Many scientists have not been able to resist the siren call of fame, research funding and meetings Dr Johannes in exotic places that awaits them if they are willing to compromise Oerlemans: scientific principles and integrity in support of the man-made global-warming doctrine.” “All of my comments were ignored without even a rebuttal. At that point, I concluded that the IPCC Reports were actually Dr Roger Pielke: intended to be advocacy documents designed to produce particular policy actions, but not a true and honest assessment of the understanding of the climate system.” “The hypothesis that human activity can create global warming is extraordinary because it is contrary to validated knowledge from solar physics, astronomy, history, archeology and geology.” “To reduce modern climate change to one variable, CO2, or a Professor emeritus small proportion of one variable - human-induced CO2 - is not science. To try to predict the future based on just one variable Ian Plimer: (CO2) in extraordinarily complex natural systems is folly. Yet when astronomers have the temerity to show that climate is driven by solar activities rather than CO2 emissions, they are dismissed as dinosaurs undertaking the methods of old-fashioned science.” “September 2021 is on its way to perhaps the coldest of the 21st Dr Mika Rantanen: century in Finland.” “As far as the science being ‘settled,’ I think that is an obscenity. Dr Paul Reiter: The fact is the science is being distorted by people who are not scientists.” “an epistemological examination of the geochemical analyses performed on the Vostok ice cores invalidates the marked Dr Pascal Richet: greenhouse effect on past climate usually assigned to CO2 and CH4” [citation]

“... How then, can someone claim to predict something such as warming, if the error involved in the procedure is more than 15 times greater than the effect one is trying to predict?” “I have an involuntary gag reflex whenever someone says the science is settled. Anyone who thinks the science is settled on this topic is in fantasia.” “Earth’s climate is not changing in an unusual or anomalous fashion. The EPA relied on instrumental data that were adjusted to exaggerate the increase in global temperatures.” “On the one hand, as scientists we are ethically bound to the scientific method. … On the other hand, we are not just scientists but human beings as well. … To avert the risk (of potentially disastrous climate change) we need to get some broad based support, to capture the public imagination. That of course means getting loads of media coverage. So we have to offer up some scary scenarios, make simplified dramatic statements and little mention of any doubts one might have. … Each of us has to decide what the right balance is between being effective, and being honest..” - Discover Magazine, October 1989 “the ‘global warming scare’ is being used as a political tool to increase government control over American lives, incomes and decision making. It has no place in the Society’s activities.” - 2009 “The IPCC global warming model is not supported by the scientific data.” “I have never before witnessed a more disturbing corruption of the peer-review process than the events that led to this IPCC report.” – regarding the 1995 IPCC WG1 report. “Modest changes in temperature are not about to wipe them [coral reefs] out. Neither will increased carbon dioxide, which is a fundamental chemical building block that allows coral reefs to exist at all. It is their and our friend, generally, not the enemy.” “There is no fingerprint attesting that CO2 emission causes a rise in temperature” “I had no idea that this would lead me to get involved in the greenhouse effect, ... All I set out to do was to seriously answer a colleague's question. When I wanted to publish the article I ran into closed doors. I sent the article to Nature and was told - It's nice, but you need to find a stronger basis. After a while, I came to feel like people were always looking for another excuse not to publish the article.” “As a scientist I remain skeptical…The main basis of the claim that man’s release of greenhouse gases is the cause of the warming is based almost entirely upon climate models. We all know the frailty of models concerning the air-surface system.” 10
“Isn’t it remarkable that the Policymakers Summary of the IPCC report avoids mentioning the satellite data altogether, or even the Dr Fred Singer: existence of satellites — probably because the data show a slight cooling over the last 18 years, in direct contradiction of the calculations from climate models?” “There is clear cut solar-climate coupling and a very strong natural variability of climate on all historical time scales. Currently I hardly Dr Hajo Smit: believe anymore that there is any relevant relationship between human CO2 emissions and climate change.” “Environmentalism is no longer the ideology of reform, of Dr L. Graham rebellion, of revolution: it is fully co-opted as the dominant dogma Smith: of stasist conformity and control.” “Errors in Total Solar Irradiance, ... The Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change keeps using the wrong numbers! It’s making Dr Willie Soon: me feel sick to keep seeing this error. I keep telling them – but they keep ignoring their mistake.” Dr Roy W. “I have never been convinced that there is any fingerprint of Spencer: anthropogenic warming.” “In fact global warming has stopped and a cooling is beginning. No Dr Henrik climate model has predicted a cooling of the Earth – quite the Svensmark: contrary. And this means that the projections of future climate are unreliable.” “There is no chance at all that the physical sciences can produce a Dr Hendrik universally accepted scientific basis for policy measures concerning Tennekes: climate change. There exists no sound theoretical framework for climate predictability studies.” “There is so much of a natural variability in weather it makes it Dr Tom Tripp: difficult to come to a scientifically valid conclusion that global warming is man made.” “It's now obvious that the IPCC models are not correctly reflecting the development of atmospheric temperatures.” Prof Fritz Vahrenholt: “The main cause of the warming of the last 20 years is the change in clouds” “MANY people think the science of climate change is settled. It isn’t. And the issue is not whether there has been an overall warming during the past century. There has, although it was not Prof. emeritus Jan uniform and none was observed during the past decade. The Veizer: geologic record provides us with abundant evidence for such perpetual natural climate variability, from icecaps reaching almost to the equator to none at all, even at the poles.” “In a Democratic Society, Published opinion and public Dr Gerd-Rainer perceptions are the main drivers for political action, not Weber: indisputable scientific facts. Cases and point are the European Union’s Climate Change Strategy of 10 January 2007 and the 11
Green Package of 23 January, 2008, but also some regional activities in the US and proposed action by US legislative bodies. Those Policies and proposals have been justified by the extremist view on climate change.” [GRW] “The public is not well served by this constant drumbeat of alarms Dr David Wojick: fed by computer models manipulated by advocates.” “I am positively convinced that the anthropogenic global Dr Miklos Zagoni: warming theory is wrong.” “Pollution is one thing, but the greenhouse effect is something different, and man has little to do with it. I challenge climatologists Prof. emeritus to demonstrate that in a hundred years the Earth will be Antonino Zichichi: overheated. Climate change history is an opinion; a mathematical model which claims to demonstrate the indemonstrable.” “Editors, reviewers and authors of alternative studies, analysis, Dr Eduardo Zorita: interpretations, even based on the same data we have at our disposal, have been bullied and subtly blackmailed.”
Six more quotes “In my view, our approach to global warming exemplifies everything that is wrong with our approach to the environment. We are basing our Michael decisions on speculation, not evidence. Societies are morally unjustified in Crichton: spending vast sums on a speculative issue when people around the world are dying of starvation and disease.” “Today’s debate about global warming is essentially a debate about Dr Vaclav freedom. The environmentalists would like to mastermind each and Klaus: every possible (and impossible) aspect of our lives.” “Thousands of scientists have been funded to find a connection between human carbon emissions and the climate. Hardly any have been funded Joanne to find the opposite. Throw 30 billion dollars at one question and how Nova: could bright, dedicated people not find 800 pages worth of connections, links, predictions, projections and scenarios? (What’s amazing is what they haven’t found: empirical evidence.)” “We think that the variation of the sun, and the variation of the orbital Roger parameters of the planets in the solar system has a much bigger effect on Tattersall: changes in Earth’s surface temperature than the changing concentration of a minor trace gas such as carbon dioxide.” “The IPCC attracted more people with political rather than academic Dr Richard motives. In AR4, green activists held key positions in the IPCC and they Tol: succeeded in excluding or neutralising opposite voices.” There are no redeeming features of "climate modeling" at all. Dr Brian G Explanations of fundamental periodic phenomena such as ENSO are Valentine: completely lacking. Forget about "warming." I defy anyone to provide an 12
example of accurate prediction of some "climate" related phenomenon by modeling that is observable and repeatable over decade periods.” Here's another list of quotes by skeptics. Citations 1.
