I must say I am surprised, but flattered, that I was recently listed as one of the 15 prominent environmentalists who became “climate skeptic converts” across the world. The list included:
Margaret Thatcher
Matt Ridley (one of my favorite science writers who wrote Genome: The Autobiography of a Species in 23 Chapters and Nature via Nurture: Genes, Experience, & What Makes Us Human)
Patrick Moore cofounder of Greenpeace,
Dr. Judith Curry a prominent climate scientists featured in Scientific American,
James Lovelock who promoted the Gaia hypothesis,
Daniel Botkin (a world-renowned ecologist, Professor (Emeritus), Department of Ecology, Evolution and Marine Biology, UC Santa Barbara, and President of The Center for The Study of The Environment),
Klaus-Eckart Puls, meteorologist
Anthony Watts, meteorologist and blogger
Fritz Vahrenholt, German environmentalist
Jean-Louis Pinault, French hydrologists
Jo Nova, Australia's top blogger
Mike Hasele, Scottish Skeptic blogger
Verity Jones
Graham Strouts blogger

Many meteorologists are also avid skeptics as exemplified at the Oregon Chapter meeting of the AMS
