Famously Wrong

Why doesn't this article mention a few of his many spectacularly wrong predictions? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2600:8806:3306:5700:2d6c:7436:817d:4acd (talk) 11:16, 2 January 2018‎ (UTC)[reply]

For the same reason that this Wikipedia "article" does not mention how Senator Wirth and Mr. Hansen chose the historically hottest day for the infamous 1988 hearing and then sabotaged the air conditioning in the hearing room that day. Here is a link to "an edited transcript of an interview conducted Jan. 17, 2007" courtesy of PBS where Senator Wirth admits to and describes in detail this sabotage. https://www.pbs.org/wgbh/pages/frontline/hotpolitics/interviews/wirth.html — Preceding unsigned comment added by 220.107.24.124 (talk) 21:20, 25 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Which predictions? - Shiftchange (talk) 12:57, 16 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Lead needs expanding

This article's content needs a quick summary for the lead. We should have two more paragraphs for a standard lead needed to be complete for a B class article. - Shiftchange (talk) 12:59, 16 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]

"Criticism"

This section should not exist. See WP:CSECTION. It is also a WP:COATRACK: somebody thinks the research prize was given for something that is not research, the denialist kooks do not like that he is on the side of the consensus on climate change, some environmentalists do not like that he is pro-nuclear. The missing context of "increasingly isolated" makes it seem like the isolation is for the same reasons the kooks name.

Most of the content should be moved to appropriate sections, and the kook stuff should be removed. --Hob Gadling (talk) 08:42, 25 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Moved most of it. I do not know where the rest belongs. --Hob Gadling (talk) 09:10, 25 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Also, deleted the denialist "criticisms" per WP:ONEWAY. --Hob Gadling (talk) 09:11, 25 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]
