List of scientists opposing the mainstream scientific assessment of global warming[edit]

List of scientists opposing the mainstream scientific assessment of global warming (edit | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views) (delete) – (View log)

This list serves no encyclopedic purpose. It's instead a propoganda tool (and wikipedia is not for advertisement), giving a list solely of people who uphold the fringe minority side of the debate, giving it undue weight. Furthermore, each entry is given a quotes advocating the fringe point of view, making the POV and advocacy issues even worse.

I can see no encyclopedic purpose; instead, it serves as a propoganda device. These lists are common practice of fringe views, but normally, we cover the more notable lists hosted off-wikipedia in an encyclopedic manner (e.g. A Scientific Dissent From Darwinism) instead of hosting such lists ourselves.

This may be appropriate fodder for a category, but this list is fatally flawed, and must be deleted. Shoemaker's Holiday (talk) 11:50, 2 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]
