John L. Daly (1943-2004), a self-declared "Greenhouse skeptic", was known for speaking out publicly against what he called the "Global Warming scare". Since his death his website, Still Waiting for Greenhouse is maintained by Jerry Brennan.
John Hunter has an interesting tale of poor fact checking on the part of Australian science skepticJohnDaly.
Daly apparently had a article on urban heat islands, which listed the temperature of Heathrow Airport, and also much cooler temperatures from locations further away from Heathrow.
Writing in the Guardian, was Chris de Freitas (who is incidentally one of the more well known climate skeptics, the editor responsible for the Climate Research scandal and the Associate Director of the School of Geography and Environmental Science at the University of Auckland) who used the numbers without bothering to check their accuracy.
JohnDaly, a college electronics teacher from the island of Tasmania, makes a point Friday during a debate at the University of Nevada, Las Vegas on global warming.
Daly is a skeptic of that theory, saying what little warming has occurred is attributable to a cyclic pattern of heating and cooling.
UNLV was Daly's third stop on a speaking tour of the United States, one that he said is self-financed and not supported financially by the coal industry.
