Abstract: The controversies on global warming focus on two essential points: the very existence of global warming and its causes of it. If the existence of the first is generally no longer questioned within the scientific community, its magnitude is more so, especially compared to other older periods of warming. As for the causes, the absolute consensus has not yet been reached even if the balance goes very strongly to say that global warming is due to "human activities". It is in this context of certainties and uncertainties, of hypotheses to be validated, of contested models that the issue of "climate skepticism" appeared and grew. And what could have been a fine debate, a noble controversy, a healthy dispute, gradually turned into an object of passion. Conspiracies, calumniations, anathemas, ex-communications, not to mention the accusations of conflicts of interest... nothing was missing. In this paper, we will try to answer the main arguments raised during the general debate concerning climate change. We want to see which countries are more skeptical and who are the people who can influence the behaviors, given the huge number of admirers and followers they have.
