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 'Could an external cosmic body have influenced Earth’s geology?'

Hello, I’m currently writing a series of essays on Pangaea, continental drift, and Earth’s geological cycles. While working on my research, I’ve come across some inconsistencies in the existing theories — for example, why the main pressure seems to have been concentrated in the northern polar regions. So I’m curious: is there any data or evidence suggesting that an external cosmic body (an asteroid, comet, or another massive object) could have influenced Earth’s geology in the distant...
