Klimaskeptikerne dækker over en blandet (og uenig) skare, i Danmark med seriøse forskere som astrofysikeren Henrik Svensmark (Wikipedia.dk), o1SaveEarthDestroyCapitalism3-2.jpg ignoranter som Folketingets formand Thor Pedersen (Berlingske, 4.12.09) og bevægelsen omkring Venstre, Cepos og Dansk Folkeparti (Information, 21.9.09) og deres Alternative Klimakonference (Information, 9.12.09), til forskere, som er betalte agenter for olie-og kulindustrien. Klimaskeptikerne står stærkest i den borgerlige lejr, men findes også på venstrefløjen (se fx debatten i In Defence of Marxism og ZNet nedenfor).

Global opvarmning frosset ihjel. Af Lars Henrik Aagaard (12. februar 2010; online på Internet Archive). Scroll ned.
“Klimaskeptikere har kronede dage. Først kom ‘Climategate’, så kom det hule resultat af COP15 i et snedækket København, så kom afsløringen af en indlysende fejl i FN-klimapanelet IPCCs seneste rapport, og endelig satte den vedvarende kulde og sne den definitive trumf på.”

TV: Kampagnen mod klimaet. Tilrettelæggelse Mads Ellesøe (10. august 2020, 60 min.)
“En gruppe mænd har i årtier forsøgt at forhindre, at der bliver gjort noget ved klimaforandringer. Nu fortæller en række insidere om, hvordan de har gjort det. Det her er historien om en kampagne, der i årevis har afsporet kampen.”

Emne: Klimaskeptikerne

Klimaskeptikere er få og fagligt letpåklædte. Af Jørgen Steen Nielsen (22. juni 2010)
“De får ikke skrevet eller godkendt mange videnskabelige artikler, og der er ikke mange i forskermiljøet, der finder det berettiget at citere dem, viser ny undersøgelse af de forskere, der fortsat bestrider, at klimaændringerne er menneskeskabte.”

Tvivlens købmænd kommer til kort. Af Jørgen Steen Nielsen (20. juni 2010). Interview med videnskabshistorikeren Naomi Oreskes, som har skrevet en ny bog [Merchants of Doubt] om alliancen mellem industriinteresser og konservative videnskabsmænd. Se anmeldelse af bogen nedenfor (Ecologist).

Klimakrig: En skæbnesvanger sejr for klimaskeptikerne. Af Jørgen Steen Nielsen (26. marts 2010)
“Meningsmålingerne synes at være med klimaskeptikerne i de store engelsksprogede lande. Folk har mistet tilliden til forskerne og er kommet i tvivl om klimatruslen. Men jo hidsigere skeptikerne bliver i deres angreb på videnskaben, desto hurtigere vil deres demagogiske kampagne brænde ud.”

‘Vi tog fejl, og vi har ret’. Af Jørgen Steen Nielsen (12. februar 2010)
“Klimaforskere i klemme. Klimaskeptikere triumferer og afblæser den menneskeskabte opvarmning efter dobbeltfejl i forskerverdenen. Desværre holder klimaforskernes budskab stadig: Planeten er truet.”

Modkraft.dk

Klimabenægtere på krigsstien. Af Finn Kjeller (27. september 2013)
“FN’s nye klimarapport forsøges miskrediteret af velfinansierede ‘skeptikere’. Olieselskaber spytter i kassen for at skabe tvivl og udskyde klimatiltag.”

Skeptica.dk

Er drivhuseffekten nu borte med sneen? Af Mogens Winther (28. december 2009)
“Trods lokale danske snestorme viser den globale temperatur viser sig at være en af de varmeste nogensinde målt.”

Videnskab.dk

Klimaskepsis 2.0: sådan nedvurderer ‘eksperter’, debattører og politikere klimaudfordringen. Af Jens Friis Lund og Stefan Gaarsmand Jacobsen (17. april 2020)
“En ny form for klimaskepsis fremføres af eksperter og politikere, der fremstår, som om de forstår omfanget af problemet og tager sig af det. Men de foreslår helt utilstrækkelige løsninger, og når de udfordres, svarer de typisk, at vi må være realistiske.”

Klimabenægternes fem forfejlede grundargumenter. Af Mark Maslin (14. april 2020)
“De fleste har efterhånden indset klimaforandringernes alvor, men en mindre gruppe benægter vedholdent. Her er deres grundargumenter.”

Olieindustrien har i årtier forsøgt at skjule sandheden om klimaforandringer. Af Bo Carl Christensen (31. oktober 2019)
“Ny rapport samler års forskning: Olieindustrien har bevidst forsøgt at skævvride forståelsen for klimaforandringer i USA.” See the report: American misled (pdf) (George Mason University, October 2019, 14 p.).

Forsker afliver 5 myter om klimaforandringerne (9. oktober 2019)
“Den britiske forsker [Mark Maslin] tager fat i misforståelser, der igen og igen bliver fremført af benægtere af menneskeskabt global opvarmning.”

Er 97 procent af forskerne enige om, at klimaforandringer er menneskeskabte? Af Charlotte Price Persson (4. marts 2019)
“Jeg bliver ikke længere for alvor eksponeret for nogen, der sætter spørgsmålstegn ved, om mennesker er årsag til klimaforandringer,« siger dansk klimaprofessor.”

Tvisten om klimaet (19. maj 2008)
“De globale middeltemperaturer synes de seneste år at stagnere eller ligefrem at falde. Rokker det ved den almindelige opfattelse, at vores klode er ramt af en langsigtet global opvarmning? Eigil Kaas og Ole Humlum er stærkt uenige.”

But this does not invalidate the concept of scientific consensus altogether.” See links at the bottom of the article to Part 2-5.
