Craig D. Idso

Craig D. Idso

Craig D. Idso is the founder and chairman of the board of the Center for the Study of Carbon Dioxide and Global Change.

He is the brother of Keith E. Idso and son of Sherwood B. Idso.

Idso received his B.S. in Geography from Arizona State University, his M.S. in Agronomy from the University of Nebraska - Lincoln, and his Ph.D. in Geography from Arizona State University, where he studied as one of a small group of University Graduate Scholars.[1]

Idso's current research focus is on carbon sequestration, but he remains actively involved in several other aspects of global and environmental change, including climatology and meteorology, along with their impacts on agriculture. Idso has published scientific articles on issues related to data quality, the growing season, the seasonal cycle of atmospheric CO2, world food supplies, coral reefs, and urban CO2 concentrations, the latter of which he investigated via a National Science Foundation grant as a faculty researcher in the Office of Climatology at Arizona State University. In addition, he has lectured in Meteorology at Arizona State University, and in Physical Geography at Mesa and Chandler-Gilbert Community Colleges.[1] From 2001-2002, Idso served as Director of Environmental Science at Peabody Energy in St. Louis, MO.

Idso is a global warming skeptic. He is co-author with Fred Singer and Robert M. Carter of the reports of the Nongovernmental International Panel on Climate Change (NIPCC), a study group of global warming skeptics.[2][3] Idso advocates that increasing atmosphere carbon dioxide concentrations will instead benefit plant growth.[4] With his name on 67 papers, Idso was the most represented author[5] in a list of 938 peer reviewed papers alleged to be skeptical of global warming.[6] Idso is a science adviser to the Science and Public Policy Institute.[1]
