1. Stephen Johnson

Was the Administrator of the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) under President George W. Bush during the second term of his administration. He angered quite a few people when he tried to block the efforts of 17 states to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and improve fuel economy and in 2008, evidence came out that in denying California its waiver for tailpipe emission standards. Oy vey, that’s what happens when you work under Bush…bad apples from a bad tree.

2. Don Blankenship

The CEO of Massey Energy, the sixth largest coal company- was once quoted saying, “The Greeniacs are taking over the world” In 2009 Blankenship denied that climate change, or “global warming,” existed, and stated: “Why should we trust a report by the United Nations? The United Nations includes countries like Venezuela, North Korea and Iran.”

3. George Will

The columnist has notoriously printed misinformation and errors in several of his columns, many of which pertaining to his doubt over Global Warming. George once said, “”According to the University of Illinois’ Arctic Climate Research Center, global sea ice levels now equal those of 1979.”….therefore it doesn’t exist? Hm. Not exactly responsible journalism.

4. James Inhofe

The Senator of Oklahoma said in response to his beliefs on global warming, that it is, “the greatest hoax ever perpetrated on mankind.” Wow. The Senator believe that “scientific consensus” on climate change is a conspiracy perpetrated by greedy scientists to score grant money. Thank god I don’t live in Oklahoma.

5. Sallie Baliunas

This pretty much says it all, “If scientists and researchers were coming out releasing reports that global warming has little to do with man, and more to do with just how the planet works, there wouldn’t be as much money to study it.” Alright Sallie, that’s pure ignorance.

6. Lord Christopher Monckton

If Glenn Beck admire your beliefs, then we likely have a problem-
His most outlandish statement? “The right response to the non-problem of global warming is to have the courage to do nothing.”

7. Steven Milloy

As a “junk science” commentator for Foxnews.com, you have to be wary of anything he says. Hi Fox news, waving at you! Milloy has expressed his doubt and has consistently argued from the position of a global warming skeptic that human activity has little impact on climate change and that regulations to limit greenhouse gas emissions are unwarranted and harmful to business interests. Recently he offered a prize of $500,000 to anyone who can “prove, in a scientific manner, that humans are causing harmful global warming.” What a fool.

8. Fred Singer

Singer is Professor Emeritus of environmental science at the University of Virginia, and has said “Climate change is a natural phenomenon. Climate keeps changing all the time. The fact that climate changes is not in itself a threat, because, obviously, in the past human beings have adapted to all kinds of climate changes.” That’s right, it’s easier not to claim any responsibility!

9. Sarah Palin

What isn’t she a villain of, women, you should all agree….but I digress. We’ve got yet another person who doesn’t believe that man have anything to do with “global warming” as they would put it. Sarah is also one for, drill baby drill! Terrifying.

10. Richard Lindzen

The professor of Meteorology at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology is a widely known skeptic of global warming, quited as saying, “Global warming has been merely a device for implementing broader agendas.” Hm…who wouldn’t want to sit in his classroom?
