The guy is Australian, and most readers will be from Australia. The spelling should be sceptic, rather than skeptic (unless skeptic is a brand owned by Exxon, which seems possible). 137.111.13.200 ( talk) 06:18, 23 November 2010 (UTC)
There is a discussion that happens regularly around various WP biography pages about whether people should be referred to as climate change "sceptics" or climate change "deniers". One of the keys to choosing the right word is to look at what the article subject themselves has been reported as saying, and what independent reliable sources report. Jensen has described himself as a sceptic, but the article currently i don't think cites any independent reliable sources that indicate he denies climate change. In the absence of such sources, given the heated nature of climate change debate, "denier" becomes a kind of slur. hamiltonstone ( talk) 22:32, 18 January 2015 (UTC)
Peter Gulutzan ( talk) 01:16, 19 January 2015 (UTC)The phrase "climate change denier" should be avoided in almost all cases, unless the person expresses that precise claim themselves, which will be almost never. The reason should be clear: the phrase is highly partisan and an attempt to tar people with association with the phrase "holocaust denier" - the only other common usage of that sort of phrase that I know about.
