Dear little lying corksmokers, you cannot provide a link because there are none. In the meantime;
According to his bio, Evans claims to be a “Rocket Scientist,” and one article describes him as a “
Top Rocket Scientist.” While Evans's background does show that he has a Ph.D. in electrical engineering, there is no evidence that he was ever employed as a rocket scientist.
When DeSmogBlog
contacted Evans regarding his claim of being a rocket scientist, Evans replied that “In US academic and industry parlance, 'rocket scientist' means anyone who has completed a PhD in one of the hard sciences at one of the top US institutions.”
Evans also claims to be “building a word processor for Windows.” DeSmogBlog contacted Microsoft and they have confirmed that he does not work for them.
Background
Evans is an editor for the Australian edition of
GoldNerds, a company that sells information about gold companies to investors. He also does private mathematics research.

David Evans gained media attention after an article he wrote titled, “
No smoking hot spot,” which was published in
The Australian in June, 2008
. The article claims that climate change is not caused by C02 emissions because there is no evidence of “a hot spot about 10km up in the atmosphere over the tropics.”

Evans's claim has been thoroughly
debunked by Tim Lambert, a computer scientist at the University of New South Wales.
