Av någon underlig anledning så är dessa "forskare" inte beroende av "klimatforskningsmedel", de är oftast forskare inom ämnen som utifrån ett naturvetenskapligt perspektiv kan förhålla sig till de fysikaliska och kemiska förhållanden som kan förklara uppvärmning, strålning och klimatförändringar.
Vi har idag mängder med forskare som håller på med "hållbarhet" och de lutar sig alltid mot klimatförändringar när de söker medel - här finns t ex nationalekonomer, vilka då räknas in bland klimatforskare.
I min värld så har det oändligt mycket större betydelse vad en sådan här forskare hävdar, än vad alla dessa flugor som surrar runt klimatforskningsmedel påstår.
Acclaimed Israeli Astrophysicist Suggests That The Sun Drives Earth's Climate, Not CO2: Grand Solar Minimum and Pole Shift

"ACCLAIMED ISRAELI ASTROPHYSICIST SUGGESTS THE SUN DRIVES EARTH’S CLIMATE, NOT CO2
Nir Shaviv is an Israeli astrophysicist and chairman of Jerusalem’s Hebrew University’s physics department. He says that his research, and that of colleagues, suggests that rising CO2 levels play only a minor role in earth’s climate compared to the influence of the sun and cosmic radiation.
“Global warming clearly is a problem, though not in the catastrophic terms of Al Gore’s movies or environmental alarmists,” said Shaviv. “Climate change has existed forever and is unlikely to go away. But CO2 emissions don’t play the major role.
Periodic solar activity does.”
But I thought that 97% of climate scientists agreed that human activity is the main driver of climate change?
“
Only people who don’t understand science take the 97% statistic seriously,” said Shaviv. “Survey results depend on who you ask, who answers and how the questions are worded. In any case, science is not a democracy. Even if 100% of scientists believe something, one person with good evidence can still be right.”

Dr. Andrew Lacis, NASAClimatologist and IPCC contributor: “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."
Dr. Richard Courtney, a UN IPCC expert reviewer and a UK-based climate and atmospheric science consultant: “To date, no convincing evidence for AGW (anthropogenic global warming) has been discovered. And recent global climate behaviour is not consistent with AGW model predictions”.
Dr. Lee Gerhard, retired Kansas State Geologist, is past president of the AAPG Division of Environmental Geosciences and
IPCC contributor: "I never fully accepted or denied the anthropogenic global warming (AGW) concept until the furor started after [NASA's James] Hansen's wild claims in the late 1980's. I went to the [scientific] literature to study the basis of the claim, starting at first principles. My studies then led me to believe that the claims were false."
Dr. Yuri Israel, vice-chairman of the IPCC until September 2008: "There is no proven link between human activity and global warming. I think the panic over global warming is totally unjustified. There is no serious threat to the climate."

Dr. Lucka Bogataj, IPCC committee member: "Rising levels of airborne carbon dioxide don't cause global temperatures to rise.... temperature changed first and some 700 years later a change in aerial content of carbon dioxide followed."
Dr Indur Goklany, B.Tech. Electrical Engineering, Indian Institute of Technology, Bombay. Expert Reviewer,
IPCC (2005-2007): "Climate change is unlikely to be the world's most important environmental problem of the 21st century. There is no signal in the mortality data to indicate increases in the overall frequencies or severities of extreme weather events, despite large increases in the population at risk."
Dr. Harry Lins managed the USGS Global Change Hydrology Program from 1989 to 1997, and served as Co-Chair of the
IPCC Hydrology and Water Resources Working Group: "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."
