This is not the 19th century. There are probably thousands of climate scientists.who could be considered among the best. And as others have noted, they work for hundreds of different organizations and countries.

>>Peg- oh that's cool.....how you get paid?<<

Do you not understand the concept of an independent contractor?

I have been payed via government research money to study climate. I have been paid by the industries that cause global warming. Now I get paid by the government to oversee and review projects by the industries that cause global warming.

I'm sure that this comes as a shock to Deniers, but scientists - like most people - work for a living.

C is correct. They work at places like the National Center for Atmospheric Research, NASA-JPL, the University of Washington, the University of California, Columbia University, MIT, Princeton, the University of Miami, etc.

I am a climate scientist who works independently in the fields of meteorology, geophysics and defense. None of my money comes from promoting global warming or researching it. I believe in AGW because of the evidence and the physics of it--nothing to do with politics or economics.

EDIT: When I do some work, I get paid for it. I might run a mesoscale weather model on my home computer, or work on a new scientific instrument that helps in mining, or edit a software manual for the DoD. I also teach physics. None of those relies on any money connected with AGW.

You could look up the bodies working with the IPCC.

Also, you could look up the US Regional Climate Centers: http://www.srcc.lsu.edu/regional_climate...

Climate scientists who were "self funded, working independently without a boss or many others around" and did not deny the evidence for global warming:

Guy Callendar

Gilbert Plass

among others

If EVERYTHING is a hoax or a conspiracy, then what is left over to be reality?

Climate science involves a lot more people and countries and centuries than you evidently realize.

Denial of climate science is less widespread and newer.

IT does'nt really matter now, since Global Warming ended in 2012, confirmed by our Satelight reports 11/28/2012 that ICE ACCUMULATION has once again started on different parts of earth. All 4 seasons have returned to normal naturally and funds for scientists come from non-profit organizations around America. Mike

Most of them work for universities or governmental agencies

Meaning what organization and who funds these organizations? The supporters seem to think this has nothing to do with politics but who funds them? Are they all working independently out of their own office or do they work under an umbrella with other climate scientist? How do they get fired? What is these corporations who control climate science discipline policy?

Find me a Climate Scientist who is self funded, working independently without a boss or many others around him and supports AGW, heads or presidents of research centers do not count. No lies please provide sources......thank you.

Also those of you who work for corporations, do you have independence in doing your job or are there restrictions, guidelines, and protocol?
