If you read my articles regularly, you may have noticed multiple times I have stated that the scientific argument is over; there are no longer any reputable scientists that deny the overwhelming human influence in our climate. An open letter published last week by the anti-environmentalists proves my point. If you read the headlines, it might have seemed impressive: 300 Scientists Tell Trump to Leave UN Climate Agreement. Wow, 300 scientists. Thats a lot right? Actually, its a pitiful list.
EDIT
Example 1:
ADAM, A.I.: (Ph. D.); Retired Geologist/Palynologist/Academic/Public Servant/Industry Professional; publications include papers on palaeoenvironmental studies and a book, New Emperors Novel Clothes: Climate Change Analysed. A retired geologist and a public servant? I performed a google scholar search on AI Adam to find out what is picked up as any studies written by someone named AI Adam. Nothing. If you can find his book on Amazon, you will see his biography states hes a retired geologist, got a degree from a university in the UK (discipline not specified), he worked in fossil fuel and mineral industries in Australia and other countries. Oh, and currently he has wide interests.
EDIT
Example 4:
ALLISON, Jock: (Ph.D., Animal science, Sydney University, 1970); Previously Research Director, Ministry of Agriculture & Fisheries, New Zealand. Well, someone in animal science may have studied climate change. Perhaps the effect (or lack of effect) of climate change on animals, right? Not likely. I performed an academic search using the name J. Allison and I found many papers in high-energy physics, certainly not the same person. So I added the word Climate to the search and found - you guessed it - nothing.
Example 5:
ANDERSON, Charles R.: (Ph.D. in Physics); Anderson Materials Evaluation, Inc., President & Principal Scientist, Expert in the use of radiation to characterize materials, many publications on materials science, frequent on-line posts on the essential physics of the atmosphere and radiation. President of a company and an online writer - not very impresive climate credentials. You can read his posts at websites like this one. The only Google Scholar hit I found using the name CR Anderson and the keyword climate was School Climate for Transgender Youth: A Mixed Method Investigation of Student Experiences and School Responses. Interesting reading I assure you, but not quite what I was looking for. Probably a different CR Anderson.
