'''Reid Bryson''' (b. 1920) is known as the "father of scientific [[climatology]]," but is an outspoken critic of [[anthropogenic global warming]] theories. Reid doubts that humans cause global warming.<ref>[http://www.madison.com/tct/mad/topstories/197613 Local scientist calls global warming theory hooey]</ref>.

Reid Bryson has significantly advanced the understanding of [[climate]] as part of his teaching and research obligations at the [[University of Wisconsin-Madison]], where he has been on the faculty since 1946.  He has penned more than five books and 200 articles on climatology-related topics, including [[meteorology]], [[archeology]], [[geography]], [[geology]] and [[limnology]].  He received his B.A. degree in geology at [[Denison University]] (1941) and a doctorate in meteorology at the [[University of Chicago]] (1948). In 1963, Bryson founded the Center for Climatic Research, where he continued to serve in 2007 as a Senior Scientist.
