The skeptics are also less influential, as judged by how often their scientific papers are cited in the work
of other climate scientists.
«When even genuine climate scientists can not get a short article published, that tries
make other climate scientists aware of data that might have a slightly negative effect on AGW theory»
That sounds bad enough — and indeed, postindustrial temperatures have already risen by as much as 1.6 ° — but there's increasing reason to believe, as James Hansen and many
other climate scientists do, that severe effects will arrive well below 450 ppm, and possibly below today's level of 396 ppm.
Pruitt reaffirmed plans for the EPA to host a public debate on climate science sometime this year that would pit climate change doubters
against other climate scientists, but he provided no further details on timing or which scientists would be involved.
The authors included Dr. Richard S. Lindzen, a meteorologist at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, who for years has expressed skepticism about some of the more dire predictions of
other climate scientists about the significance of human - caused warming.
Comiso and
other climate scientists reject the suggestion that his data set may overestimate the recent trend in Antarctic sea - ice growth — by as much as two - thirds, according to Eisenman's analysis.
The Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) and
other climate scientists regard global warming of two degrees Celsius as catastrophic, bringing water stress to arid and semi-arid countries, more floods in low - lying coastal areas, coastal erosion in small island states, and the elimination of up to 30 percent of animal and plant species.
Hansen, noted for his outspokenness on the topic of climate change and his willingness to venture into an advocacy role that many
other climate scientists try to avoid, has previously voiced his concern about the 2 - degree warming benchmark, saying in 2011 at the annual meeting of the American Geophysical Union (AGU) that, «the target that has been talked about in international negotiations for 2 degrees of warming is actually a prescription for long - term disaster.»
McIntyre claimed that Mann had misrepresented the findings of reports and inquiries into his work and the work of
other climate scientists in relation to the so - called «climategate» affair, when the emails of scientists at the Climatic Research Unit at the University of East Anglia were illegally hacked and then published.
Broecker came to his prediction at a time when CO2 had been going up but temperatures had been going down for decades — but Broecker (like
most other climate scientists at the time, and today) understood the basic physics of the issue.
Over and over in your piece we must take Michael Mann and
other climate scientists at their word that these lawsuits are purely to harass them.
Smear and misrepresent other scientists — including not just me and various
other climate scientists like Phil Jonesof the U.K.'s University of East Anglia, but even the President of the U.S. National Academy of Sciences himself, Ralph Cicerone.
But while plenty of
other climate scientists hold firm to the idea that the full range of possible outcomes, including a disruptively dangerous warming of more than 4.5 degrees C. (8 degrees F.), remain in play, it's getting harder to see why the high - end projections are given much weight.
In December 2007, at a major United Nations - sponsored climate conference in Bali, I
joined other climate scientists to help publicize a statement signed by more than 200 climate scientists from more than 20 countries.
He and
other climate scientists insist there's still no way to point to any particular meteorological calamity and firmly finger human - caused global warming, despite high confidence that such warming is already well under way.
As early as 2013, a Union of Concerned Scientists rebuttal of a pro-nuclear statement by Hansen and three
other climate scientists declared that «[r] enewable energy technologies are cheaper, less risky, and ready for deployment today.»
Independent videographer Peter Sinclair recorded White, along with a number of
other climate scientists during the December meeting of the American Geographical Union in San Francisco, Ca.
While Maibach's formulation may be the most compelling one, it would be fraudulent to use it without evidence that all 97 % of climate scientists based their opinions on their own independent evaluation of the evidence, rather than on the opinions of
other climate scientists whom they trusted.
Despite the IPCC and many
other climate scientists refusing to link «extreme weather» to climate change, the Climate Council and the ABC are quite happy to do so as part of a co-ordinated scare campaign:
