A number of promoters of the anthropogenic (human caused) global warming hypothesis (AGWH) started claiming that the science was settled and only a poorly informed denier could dissent from the prevailing consensus published in the political summaries of the IPCC reports. Many scientists found the comparison with Holocaust Deniers very insulting and began to speak. To demonstrate the unsettled nature of the climate science on which the hypothesis was based, Solomon decided to write a half dozen columns about very prominent critics of some aspect of anthropogenic global warming. The columns became very popular and the suggestions for other prominent critics flowed in.

|
Only a few of the prominent scientists whose statements are included wish to be known as deniers of the AGWH, but each has objections to one or more aspects that have been used to support the hypothesis. Most columns have a brief CV of the featured scientist at the end. |
