Climate skeptics according to faculty and/or degree?

AI Thread Summary
The discussion centers around the search for surveys or statistics regarding the presence of climate skeptics within university faculties and their educational levels. The original poster expresses a desire for data beyond political orientation, but responses indicate that such information is difficult to find due to the lack of a universal definition of "climate skeptic." Various interpretations of skepticism complicate the ability to gather relevant statistics. Additionally, it is suggested to contact political offices for potential resources, but the conversation is ultimately deemed inappropriate for the forum's climate discussion rules, leading to the closure of the thread.

I'm looking for a survey, research or some statistics that shows in which university faculty climate skeptics are more or less present. Same for level of degree. I found only some according to the political orientation but nothing about the above. Did I miss something? If so, can you please direct me to such a poll?

I suggest that you contact Senator James Inhofe office. I feel certain they have hypothetical lists. Maybe the RNC.
 
I think you will have a hard time finding that because there is not a universal definition of "climate skeptic". Is it someone who thinks humanity has no influence on climate? Someone who thinks the effect is at the lower level of the model predictions? Someone who thinks the models are oversimplified? Someone who believes there was ice in the arctic post 2013? Someone who believes it all but votes for the wrong guy?

Thread 'The Secrets of Prof. Verschure's Rosetta Stones'
(Edit: since the thread title was changed, this first sentence is too cryptic: the original title referred to a Tool song....) Besides being a favorite song by a favorite band, the thread title is a straightforward play on words. This summer, as a present to myself for being promoted, I purchased a collection of thin sections that I believe comprise the research materials of Prof. Rob Verschure, who at the time was faculty in the Geological Institute in Amsterdam. What changed this...
