Robert Balling

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Robert C. Balling, Jr. is the former director of the Office of Climatology and is a professor of geography at Arizona State University. He received his Ph.D. in geography from the University of Oklahoma in 1979.

Balling is a declared "global warming skeptic." However, in Balling and Sen Roy (2005) he writes: "There is substantial evidence that a non-solar control has become dominant in recent decades. The buildup of greenhouse gases and/or some other global-scale feedback, such as widespread changes in atmospheric water vapor, emerge as potential explanations for the recent residual warming found in all latitudinal bands."
