I just came across this page doing NPP. It seems that the subject is primarily known for climate change denial views. At least something about that needs to be mentioned in the article. Nsk92 ( talk) 21:25, 17 August 2019 (UTC)
From what I can see the subject of the biography has spoken very little on climate change. His core position, especially as reported in reliable sources, is that various alarmist claims by scientists about the effects of climate change and farm runoff on the Great Barrier Reef are not based in fact, are poorly (or not) replicated (which is a basic requirement for something to be accepted as science), and are strongly and convincingly contradicted by various facts as mentioned by Farmbrough above. For publicly stating this opinion he was harassed and fired by his university, and won in court when he sued for this. These facts seem to be adequately covered in the article. Sliming him as a climate change denier seems unwarranted, especially given BLP rules. Phil153 ( talk) 11:56, 24 October 2019 (UTC)
Since the discussion above, this article has apparently again degenerated into a very one-sided labeling of Ridd as a denialist. As far as I can tell, he uncovered actual fraud in the disputed studies in question ( source), but the current content willfully ignores this. Jpatokal ( talk) 05:53, 27 May 2024 (UTC)
