The POV language of this article needs to be heavily toned down. RickK 06:16, Mar 22, 2005 (UTC)

I'd never heard of Myron Ebell before, but after I read this article I did a bit of looking around on the Web. I came to two conclusions: (1) Myron Ebell is a head case and (2) RickK is right about the article being unacceptably POV. I haven't rewritten the article, but I have gone through it and adjusted it a bit. Here's what I've done:

1. Removed the adjective "scientifically-based" and changed "Climate Action Report 2002" to a link to the report itself.
2. Removed the blurb that said, "CEI receives roughly $1 million a year from ExxonMobil, the world's largest energy company." This point is hardly relevant in a discussion of Ebell. Such a piece of information should go in the CEI article. Besides, the Greenpeace page cited in the article as source number (which may have been the source of this tidbit) mentions only half that amount.
3. Noted that we need a citation for the statement, "In the past, he has equated the dangers of manmade global warming to the dangers of 'being invaded by space aliens.'" I Googled "Myron Ebell space aliens" and found nothing (other than mirrors of this article) that mention his ever having said that. Granted, I wasn't exactly tenacious in my search. If someone else can find a citation, please update the article.
4. Removed the phrase "tracks everything Myron does and says" from the link to The Myron Ebell Climate. It was just a bit too gleeful.

Hope this helps. —CKA3KA (Skazka) 22:03, 8 February 2006 (UTC)

Much missing...

Myron Ebell's ties to ExxonMobil (big surprise there)

Myron Ebell, a man recently censured by the British House of Commons for “unfounded and insulting criticism of Sir David King, the Government’s Chief Scientist.” Ebell is the global warming and international policy director of the Competitive Enterprise Institute (CEI), which has received a whopping $1,380,000 from ExxonMobil.

Moron

I just heard this moron on the radio. Among other things, he said that since temperature increases as the logarithm of the amount of carbon dioxide, it is a problem that "takes care of itself." He also said that if we have more hurricanes due to global warming, it is not a big deal, since we already have hurricanes. Not sure if some of these should be added to the page.

Where did this jackass say this stuff? Cowicide 02:37, 11 November 2006 (UTC)

This article is very left/ POV critical

This article needs to be marked as overly critical and obviously biased.

This article is a mess

I am going to try to clean this up. I already removed some poorly sourced claims, more removals are likely forthcoming. At a glance I see potential violations of WP:RS, WP:WEIGHT, and possibly even WP:BLP. More to come. ATren (talk) 16:08, 14 January 2010 (UTC)

BLP noticeboard

Section = 109 BLP articles labelled "Climate Change Deniers" all at once. This article was placed in a "climate change deniers" category. After discussion on WP:BLPN and WP:CFD the category was deleted. Peter Gulutzan (talk) 16:28, 20 December 2015 (UTC)

POV

I tried to remove some POV, including content not backed up by references or "referenced" with a blog. The long quotes in the "litigation" subsection may be undue. In any case, are the tags still necessary?Zigzig20s (talk) 22:03, 9 November 2016 (UTC)

User:BatteryIncluded: Please try to keep your edits as NPOV as possible. This article should not be an attack page. This isn't an essay on climate change either.Zigzig20s (talk) 00:28, 10 November 2016 (UTC)

Cut the BULLSHIT. He is known for climate warming denial and chosen for THAT. BatteryIncluded (talk) 00:31, 10 November 2016 (UTC)

My understanding is that he is an analyst of climate change, and that he takes a skeptical view. Please don't be POV-pushing.Zigzig20s (talk) 00:32, 10 November 2016 (UTC)

Complete fucking denial is not skepticism. BatteryIncluded (talk) 00:33, 10 November 2016 (UTC)

Sorry, we want this article to be NPOV. Take a deep breath. This isn't a far-left blog; this is Misplaced Pages.Zigzig20s (talk) 00:35, 10 November 2016 (UTC)

His beliefs and goals are extremely well documented: "Ebell is sometimes described as climate denier-in-chief". donald-trump-epa-myron-ebell-climate-change-505546]. So please cut the bullshit! I'm not a newbie you can intimidate with BS and pseudo-policies out of your @ BatteryIncluded (talk) 00:43, 10 November 2016 (UTC)

Known for

"Climate change analysis" or "Climate change skepticism"? I feel like "analysis" sounds more NPOV. Newsweek uses "skepticism" though.Zigzig20s (talk) 00:41, 10 November 2016 (UTC)
