Richard Muller had been one of the most outspoken climate-change skeptics. No longer. The “converted skeptic” writes, “three years ago I identified problems in previous climate studies that, in my mind, threw doubt on the very existence of global warming. Last year, following an intensive research effort involving a dozen scientists, I concluded that global warming was real and that the prior estimates of the rate of warming were correct. I’m now going a step further: Humans are almost entirely the cause.”

Long considered a climate change skeptic, Richard Muller received funding to disprove the research. Muller’s two-year project analyzed 1.6 billion measurements from 39,000 global temperature monitoring stations. “When we began our study, we felt that skeptics had raised legitimate issues.” Instead, Muller’s research confirmed previous research. He writes, “Global warming is real. Perhaps our results will help cool this portion of the climate debate.”
