Background
Stanley B. Goldenberg is a Meteorologist with the Hurricane Research Division/AOML/NOAA located in Miami, Florida. He is one of the lead authors of NOAA’s Seasonal Hurricane Outlooks for the Atlantic basin.
Goldenberg received his M.S. in Meteorology under the guidance of fellow climate change skeptic Jim O’Brien.
Stanley Goldenberg has been associated with the Heartland Institute as an expert and a regular speaker at the Heartland Institute‘s International Conference on Climate Change.
Goldenberg is known for his views on arctic sea ice. While Goldenberg has conceded that “it is possible that a small fraction of the increase in hurricane activity might be associated with the gradual, long-term SST increase,” he is also on the record for claiming there is raw data showing an increase in Arctic sea ice depth and an expansion of its coverage.4 Goldenberg, S.B., C.W. Landsea, A.M. Mestas-Nuñez, and W.M. Gray, 2001: The recent increase in Atlantic hurricane activity : Causes and implications. Science, 293 , 474-479.

Stance on Climate Change
“Just because climate change has happened doesn’t mean AGW. Just because weather disasters happen doesn’t mean AGW. And an inconvenient truth that most of the media are speaking of, CAGW – that’s very important. They’re not just talking about AGW, but catastrophic [anthropogenic global warming]. If we just have a little bit of warming from manmade causes, nobody really cares, but they’re talking about it’s going to be catastrophic.”6 Jeff Poor. “NOAA Meteorologist Claims ‘Gross, Blatant Censorship’ by Media for Speaking Out Against Climate Change Alarmism,” Media Research Center, March 18, 2009.
Key Quotes
“[The scientific consensus] is a blatant lie put forth in the media that makes it seem there is only a fringe of scientists who don’t buy into anthropogenic global warming.”7 Walter E. Williams. “WILLIAMS: Global warming rope-a-dope,” The Washington Times, December 27, 2008.
“Not a single, to my knowledge – not a single scientist at the National Hurricane Center, the Hurricane Research Division, the Joint Typhoon Warning Center – I’m trying to find out about the Central Pacific Hurricane Center – believe that hurricanes – numbers, activity – that there’s any measurable impact from any so-called global warming.”8 Jeff Poor. “NOAA Meteorologist Claims ‘Gross, Blatant Censorship’ by Media for Speaking Out Against Climate Change Alarmism,” Media Research Center, March 18, 2009.
