You think Michael Mann and Peter Gleick aren't climate scientists?
From Wikipedia's article in Dr Mann:
Michael E. Mann (born 1965) is an American
climatologist and
geophysicist,
[1] currently director of the Earth System Science Center at
Pennsylvania State University, who has contributed to the scientific understanding of historic climate change based on the
temperature record of the past 1000 years. He has pioneered techniques to find patterns in past climate change, and to isolate climate signals from "noisy data."
[3]
As lead author of a paper produced in 1998 with co-authors
Raymond S. Bradley and
Malcolm K. Hughes, Mann introduced innovative statistical techniques to find regional variations in a hemispherical climate reconstruction covering the past 600 years. In 1999 the same team used these techniques to produce a reconstruction over the past 1,000 years (MBH99) which was dubbed the "
hockey stick graph" because of its shape. He was one of 8 lead authors of the "Observed Climate Variability and Change” chapter of the
Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC)
Third Scientific Assessment Reportpublished in 2001. A graph based on the MBH99 paper was highlighted in several parts of the report, and was given wide publicity. The IPCC acknowledged that his work, along with that of the many other lead authors and review editors, contributed to the award of the
2007 Nobel Peace Prize, which was won jointly by the IPCC and
Al Gore.
He was organizing committee chair for the
National Academy of Sciences Frontiers of Science in 2003 and has received a number of honors and awards including selection by
Scientific American as one of the fifty leading visionaries in science and technology in 2002. In 2012 he was inducted as a Fellow of the
American Geophysical Union and was awarded the
Hans Oeschger Medal of the
European Geosciences Union. In 2013 he was elected a Fellow of the
American Meteorological Society, and awarded the status of
distinguished professor in Penn State's College of Earth and Mineral Sciences.
Mann is author of more than 160 peer-reviewed and edited publications, and has published two books:
Dire Predictions: Understanding Global Warming in 2008 and
The Hockey Stick and the Climate Wars: Dispatches from the Front Lines, published in early 2012. In 2013 the European Geosciences Union described his publication record as "outstanding for a scientist of his relatively young age". He is also a co-founder and contributor to the climatology blog
RealClimate.
From Wikipedia's article on Dr Gleick:
Peter H. Gleick (
/ˌɡlik/; born 1956) is an American scientist working on issues related to the
environment, economic development, international security, and scientific ethics and integrity, with a focus on global
freshwater challenges.
[1] He works at the
Pacific Institute in
Oakland,
California, which he co-founded in 1987. In 2003 he was awarded a
MacArthur Fellowship for his work on water resources. Among the issues he has addressed are conflicts over water resources,
[2] the impacts of
climate change on
water resources, the human
right to water, and the problems of the billions of people without safe, affordable, and reliable water and
sanitation. In 2006 he was elected to the U.S.
National Academy of Sciences. In 2011, Gleick was the launch Chairman
[3] of the "new task force on scientific ethics and integrity" of the
American Geophysical Union.
[4] Gleick received the International Water Resources Association (IWRA)
Ven Te Chow Memorial Award in 2011,
[5] and that same year he and the Pacific Institute were awarded the first U.S. Water Prize.
[6] In February 2012, Gleick admitted to unauthorized distribution of documents he had obtained from
The Heartland Institute under someone else's name, and took a voluntary leave of absence from the Pacific Institute; he was reinstated following an investigation.
[7] In April 2012, Gleick presented the Oxford Amnesty Lecture on the human
right to water at
Oxford University.
