Bob Carter

Robert M. "Bob" Carter is an adjunct research professor of geology specialising in palaeontology, stratigraphy, and marine geology in the Marine Geophysical Laboratory at James Cook University, Queensland,[1] and the University of Adelaide, South Australia.[2] Carter is a former Director of Australia's Secretariat for the Ocean Drilling Program and a Co-Chief Scientist for drilling leg 181.[3][4] He is an Honorary Fellow of the Royal Society of New Zealand.[5]

Career

Carter has published scientific papers on taxonomic paleontology, the growth and form of the molluscan shell, New Zealand and Pacific geology, sea level and paleoclimatology, New Zealand maritime glaciation,[6] Quaternary geology, stratigraphic classification, sequence stratigraphy, sedimentology,and the Great Barrier Reef.[7]

Carter is active in the media, volunteering letters and opinion pieces on science topics to a variety of newspapers, magazines and web magazines. Carter was one of the founding members[8] of the New Zealand Climate Science Coalition, and a member[9] of the industry-funded[10] Institute of Public Affairs which also founded the Australian Environment Foundation. He is also a science adviser to the Science and Public Policy Institute.[11]

Global warming

Carter has appeared in many media pieces on global warming, including the public debate after the airing of The Great Global Warming Swindle documentary on ABC.[12] Carter has published newspaper articles[13][14] which conflict with the mainstream scientific opinion on climate change.[15] [16] His strong advocacy of anti-global warming positions have attracted harsh criticism from other environment scientists. [17][18] A Sydney Morning Herald reporter wrote that Carter "appears to have little standing in the Australian climate science community."[19]

Carter has published several critiques of anthropogenic global warming in economics journals.[20][21] Carter is a Contributor/Reviewer of the Nongovernmental International Panel on Climate Change (NIPCC) 2009 report Climate Change Reconsidered.[22]

Carter has published primary research in the related field of palaeoclimatology, investigating New Zealand's climate extending back to 3.9 Ma.[6][23][24] Carter is a staff member at the Institute of Public Affairs.[25] He has not to date published any research articles that refute global warming or anthropogenic climate change.
