Background
Keith D. Hage is a retired professor from the University of Alberta's department of Earth and Atmospheric Science. [2]
Stance on Climate Change
Hage is a signatory to an open letter which claims that "'Climate change is real' is a meaningless phrase used repeatedly by activists to convince the public that a climate catastrophe is looming and humanity is the cause. Neither of these fears is justified. Global climate changes all the time due to natural causes and the human impact still remains impossible to distinguish from this natural 'noise.'" [3]
