Oren0 is unsure why the membership is unclear [1]. Presumably, because we don't know who the membership is. Or do we? William M. Connolley (talk) 21:21, 11 March 2009 (UTC)

Regarding the editor who removed "Skeptic" from the lede (and elsewhere): I think that was misguided. First of all, the conference is explicitly targeted at global warming skepticism. See for example the quote that I put in the edit summary. If you look through the contents of some of those ICCC conferences, or look at some of the presentation videos that it posts (as I have done), there is no ambiguity that this is the idea that the conference is all about. Secondly, "skepticism" is the neutral POV term that the Wikipedia community has settled on for that strain of thought and that strain of research. The title of the article is Global warming skepticism. Thirdly, I think that in some ways we do these people a disservice to remove that from the article. I think that on the whole they see themselves as skeptical of the consensus, and are proud to belong to the side of the debate that they belong to. And fourthly, if it is conference about global warming skepticism, we do the Wikipedia readers a disservice to remove the wiki-link to that very topic.
I think that despite the profound animosity in the public debate---which spills over into Wikipedia editing quite a bit---this compromise both honors the good faith beliefs and the good faith science of the skeptics while also acknowledging that they find themselves on one side of an essentially (and perhaps unfortunately) a two-sided policy debate. As evidence, I point to this very conference. It brings together people from a whole lot of positions and a variety of strains of research, with skepticism of the global warming consensus being the exact one thing they have in common.
If there is better language than the current, we should discuss it here and come to some agreement. I will happily participate and honor whatever is concluded. M.boli (talk) 16:02, 13 October 2011 (UTC)
[2] is broken, or rather not broken but leads to irrelevance. Also the 2009 section says *The* 2009 conf, about the march one, but then there is a june one. So it all needs updating William M. Connolley (talk) 22:29, 26 October 2011 (UTC)
