Siegfried Fred Singer (September 27, 1924 - April 6, 2020) was an Austrian-born American physicist, climate change denier and emeritus professor of environmental science at the University of Virginia. Singer trained as an atmospheric physicist and was known for his rejection of scientific consensus on the link between UV-B and melanoma rates, that between chlorofluoro compounds and stratospheric ozone loss, his public downplaying of the health risks of passive smoking, and as an advocate for climate change denial. He was the author or editor of several books including Global Effects of Environmental Pollution (1970), The Ocean in Human Affairs (1989), Global Climate Change (1989), The Greenhouse Debate Continued (1992), and Hot Talk, Cold Science (1997). He also co-authored Unstoppable Global Warming: Every 1,500 Years (2007) with Dennis Avery, and Climate Change Reconsidered (2009) with Craig Idso.
