climate sceptic

A better sounding name for an air pollution advocate usually paid by, interested in, or manipulated by the pollution-heavy industries. They usually claim themselves (falsely) to be an expert in environmental sciences. Their main purpose is to propagate pro-pollution attitude.
Probably Bjørn Lomborg was the only respectable climate sceptic but for now he does not support his former opinions anymore either.
