total bullshit... many of the top climatologists don't have a bullshit climatology degree they have advanced degrees in real sciences.
so they guys studying glaciers and dating ice cores and figuring out what the climate was like via the glaciers are not climatologists?

Academic Interests
- Glacial- and periglacial geomorphology, with main emphasis on the climatic control on glacial and periglacial geomorphic activity in cold-climate, high-relief areas, past as well as present.
- Landforms derived from bedrock weathering in high-relief areas, with special emphasis on rock glaciers.
- Climate variability and associated geomorphic response. Reconstruction of Quaternary ice sheets, glaciers and periglacial environments in the North Atlantic region.
- Historical and modern climatology (modern data series as well as the use of documentary and early instrumental records for the reconstruction of late Holocene climate) of the Arctic region, the North Atlantic region, including the Faroe Islands, Greenland, Svalbard and Norway.
- The impact of climate on societies (human dimensions) in the North Atlantic region.
- Comparison and integration of different climate proxy series.
- Scientific applications of numerical modelling in geomorphology; e.g. modelling of active layer and permafrost thermal characteristics.
- Mapping Arctic and Antarctic surface temperature changes and geomorphic effects during the observational period.
- Mapping, monitoring and modelling natural cold-climate geomorphic processes and -hazards.
- Permafrost and periglacial processes. International Permafrost Association.
- Physical Geography of Svalbard
- Snow avalanche risk in Svalbard

Ole Humlum (born 21 July 1949) is a Danish professor of
physical geography at the
University of Oslo, Department of Geosciences and adjunct professor of physical geography at the
University Centre in Svalbard.
[1] His academic focus includes
glacial and
periglacial geomorphology and
climatology.
[2]
======
Born near the coast in
Jylland, he became interested in geology when he visited the
Alps as a teenager and saw the
glaciers. He studied natural science at the
University of Copenhagen, earning bachelor's degrees in
geology,
geography,
zoology and
botany. In 1976, he obtained a
M.Sc. in glacial
geomorphology and was the same year also awarded a Prize Essay Gold Medal at the University for another study. He earned a
Ph.D degreee in glacial geomorphology in 1980.
[1][3]
After having held
post-doc positions 1980–1983 he became scientific director at the
University of Copenhagen Arctic Station near
Qeqertarsuaq where he lived for three years. He subsequently worked as assistant professor at the University of Copenhagen from 1986–1999.
[1]
He became professor at the University Centre in Svalbard in 1999. In 2003, he became full professor at the University of Oslo, Department of Geosciences.
[1] He became a member of the newly founded
Norwegian Scientific Academy for Polar Research in 2008.
[3][4]
Humlum is a member of the Norwegian organization
Climate Realists which opposes the scientific assessment of climate change that is expressed by the
Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change. He is active in Norwegian and Danish debate about the issue, arguing that current climate change is mainly a natural phenomenon.
[1] Together with Jan-Erik Solheim and Kjel Stordahl, he published the article "Identifying natural contributions to late Holocene climate change" in
Global and Planetary Change in 2011. The article argued that changes in the sun's and moon's impact on earth explains most of both historical and current climate changes. The theory in the article was opposed by several scientists.
[5] He projected in 2013 that the climate most likely will become colder in the next 10–15 years.

Oh, and Humlum is not a climatologist, his training is in geomorphology, so he knows what glaciers do but the climate? not so much.
So he is NOT a modern climate expert.
