In a 2009 open letter he wrote, that the climate science community has "substituted the search for truth with an attempt at proving one point of view" and suggests "Let us drastically modify or temporarily discontinue the IPCC." He also appeals for climate scientists to stop making what he calls "unjustified claims and exaggerated projections about the future even if the editors of some eminent journals are just waiting to publish them."

WSJ article titled “Climate Science Not Settled, Says Former Obama Undersecretary for Science,” September 29, 2014, reported: “Ph.D. physicist Steven Koonin says climate science is far from settled and we are a long way from having good enough knowledge to make wise climate policy. That view is not news to climate skeptics, but it may seem surprising coming from Koonin, who was t in the president’s first term. Koonin says the crucial question isn’t whether climate is changing, which is a settled matter: It is changing and always will change. The crucial question - how will climate change over the next century as a result of both human and natural influences - is more complex and unsettled.” B.S. in Physics from Caltech and a Ph.D. in Theoretical Physics from MIT (1975).
