Speaking Out
A system is in place that makes it incredibly difficult, almost impossible, for scientists to take a public stance against AGW — their funding and opportunities are shutoff, their credibility and character smeared, and their safety sometimes compromised.
Example: In 2014, Lennart Bengtsson and his colleagues submitted a paper to Environmental Research Letters which was rejected for publication for what Bengtsson believed to be “activist” reasons.
Bengtsson’s paper disputed the uncertainties surrounding climate sensitivity to increased greenhouse gas concentrations contained in the IPCC’s Fourth and Fifth Assessment Reports.
Here is a passage from Bengtsson’s resignation letter from soon after:
I have been put under such an enormous group pressure in recent days from all over the world that has become virtually unbearable to me. If this is going to continue I will be unable to conduct my normal work and will even start to worry about my health and safety. I see therefore no other way out therefore than resigning from GWPF. I had not expecting such an enormous world-wide pressure put at me from a community that I have been close to all my active life. Colleagues are withdrawing their support, other colleagues are withdrawing from joint authorship etc.
I see no limit and end to what will happen. It is a situation that reminds me about the time of McCarthy. I would never have expecting anything similar in such an original peaceful community as meteorology. Apparently it has been transformed in recent years.
Lennart Bengtsson
Any person or body that holds a dissenting view or presents contradictory evidence is immediately labelled a denier — the classic ad-hominem attack designed to smear and silence those who don’t comply with the preferred wisdom of the day.
If you still believe in the 97% consensus then by all means find the list of 2,748 scientist that have zero doubts regarding the IPCC’s catastrophic conclusions on Climate Change (given I’ve found 85 names effectively refuting the claims, that’s the minimum number required to reach the 97% consensus).
Or go write your own list — it shouldn’t be that hard to do, if the scientists are out there.
Whenever you hear the consensus of scientists agrees on something or other, reach for your wallet, because you’re being had.
Michael Crichton
Another name I have yet to add to the list:

They will hunt you beyond the grave.
Marcel Leroux was a French climate scientists, a world leading authority in atmospheric circulation, but highly critical with the small cadre that took over climate science to put it at the service of politicians like Maurice Strong. He published in 2005 a book exposing their folly: Global Warming – Myth or reality? The erring ways of climatology. Marcel Leroux. 2005. Praxis Publishing Ltd. 510 pages.The late Marcel Leroux, French atmospheric physicist. He died in 2008, months after completing the second edition to his masterpiece, published in English in 2010:
Dynamic Analysis of Weather and Climate. Atmospheric Circulation, Perturbations, Climatic Evolution. Marcel Leroux. 2010. 2nd Edition. Springer-Praxis. 464 pages.
He has an entry in the French Wikipedia and the Spanish Wikipedia. But his entry in the English Wikipedia was deleted in 2011, and when restored, it was deleted again permanently in 2012.

You should add scientist François Gervais to the list. https://www.amazon.co.uk/Lurgence-climatique-leurre-Fran%C3%A7ois-Gervais/dp/2810008515/ - Henry Lyatsky

Feel free to add me to the agnostic or skeptic list. I am a Ph.D. geologist consulting privately in Calgary. My thoughts on climate change: https://csegrecorder.com/articles/view/knowledge-true-and-false-scientific-logic-and-climate-change

I would be honoured to be considered for The List. I first published pioneering work on GGE in 1982 and have been a devout climate realist ever since working on agricultural and environmental projects on four continents for four decades. I regularly write published articles on the benefits of rising CO2 for food security and natural ecosystems Ashwell as the flawed warming models and climate.
Dr Keith P Dawson (chairman Scottish Society of Crop Research) https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.scotsman.com/news/opinion/dr-keith-p-dawson-cultist-dogma-of-the-green-lobby-is-exposed-by-benefit-of-more-co2-1-4600152/amp - Professor Freeman Dyson publicly stated: “To any unprejudiced person reading this account, the facts should be obvious: that the non-climatic effects of carbon dioxide as a sustainer of wildlife and crop plants are enormously beneficial, that the possibly harmful climatic effects of carbon dioxide have been greatly exaggerated, and that the benefits clearly outweigh the possible damage.”
