Ian Clark (geologist)

For other people with the same name, see Ian Clarke (disambiguation).

Ian D. Clark is a professor emeritus in the Department of Earth Sciences at the University of Ottawa, who has published research on geoscience, groundwater and geochemistry since 1982. ^[1] His graduate work in isotope hydrogeology was at the University of Waterloo and the University of Paris. ^[2]

Clark, who is a paleoclimatologist, is among the scientists who reject the mainstream scientific consensus on climate change; in the 2007 UK television documentary The Great Global Warming Swindle , he asserted that changes in global temperature correlate with solar activity, saying "Solar activity of the last hundred years, over the last several hundred years correlates very nicely on a decadal basis, with sea ice and Arctic temperatures." ^[3] The only paper co-authored by Ian Clark about climate change has been Critical Topics in Global Warming, published by the Fraser Institute, organization that has accepted funding of fossil fuel corporations like ExxonMobil. ^[4]
