Because I am interested in addressing Global Warming, it's good to know who refuses to believe it or actively try to muddy the waters. It's no secret that members of the fossil fuel family, rather than invest in profitable new technologies to reduce emissions and even clear the air, get "hired guns" as is done in higher profile legal proceedings to uses their expertise to cast doubt on, in this case, Global Warming.
Wow! What a surprise. When I did a Google search for
global warming skeptics
I found that Wikipedia is taking names! The address is http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Category:Global_warming_skeptics.
Needless to say, out of curiosity I will check on global warming enthusiasts, advocates, experts, I'm not quite sure what the best word to use would be. What is the antonym of skeptic? Well, it is interesting to note that it was not easy to find an antonym for skeptic, but the on I did find seems OK: "believer." We have beliefs, attitudes and behaviors, and belief does seem reasonable. Beliefs are we perceive to be true.
However, when I went to Wikipedia, I found believer is the subject of songs, films, literature. I expected to see things related to religion. Nevertheless, I will attempt to find a list of global warming believers. I could use some help on this one. I suppose the last U.N. summit on the subject would be a good place to look.
