List of scientists opposing the APS position on global warming[edit]

We don't list politicians by religions, and we shouldn't list scientists by beliefs either. List of scientists opposing the mainstream scientific assessment of global warming covers this topic more than adequately already.Headbomb {^ταλκ_{κοντριβς} – WP Physics} 19:21, 6 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Keep (I am the author). The only reason I published it is the failure of other people to add these scientists to the very article you quote, see this discussion. Failure to include a Nobel laureate (Ivar Giaever) onto the list of skeptics simply due to the fact that William M. Connolley thinks this article is his "ball" is why I think this list can be useful. For the record: I have no position on GW, but at least let's list the truly famous skeptics somewhere. Dimawik (talk) 23:10, 6 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Delete. "American Physical Society (APS) Council on November 18, 2007 adopted a position on global warming that agrees with the theory of modern warming being man-made". So in other words, the APS position is the same as the mainstream scientific assessment, and the same scientists could be listed on the List of scientists opposing the mainstream scientific assessment of global warming

It's a list of signatories, after all. Kinda hard to have harder NPOV facts :-) Dimawik (talk) 02:18, 7 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Delete. What's next, List of police officers opposing User:Stifle's position on train timetables? Stifle (talk) 20:48, 6 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Keep This is a major issue. As time goes on, the advocates of GW are trying to lock in passed studies to force people to ignore new developments. This is a very pertinent issue and one closely connected to the misuse of science for political purposes. We need to keep this list as an easily accesible one that is very important.Johnpacklambert (talk) 01:46, 12 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Delete - I agree with User:Salih. If the scientists are notable skeptics, let it be in the article List of scientists opposing the mainstream scientific assessment of global warming. As stated in WP:NPOV The generally accepted policy is that all facts and major points of view on a certain subject are treated in one article. Lantrix (talk) 05:16, 13 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Delete and open an RFC on William M. Connolley instead. — Jeff G. (talk|contribs) 05:27, 13 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]
