- Vibjörn (Wibjörn) Karlén (born 26 August 1937 in , Kopparberg County, Sweden; died 22 October 2021), Ph.D., was a professor emeritus of physical geography and quaternary geology at Stockholm University, Sweden. In an article which describes Karlén as a paleoclimatologist, he is quoted as saying: "One of the big problems with trying to determine long-term temperature changes, is that weather records only go back to about 1860. By relying on statistical reconstruction of the last 1000 years, using only the temperature patterns of the last 140 years instead of actual temperature readings, the IPCC report and Summary missed both a major cooling period as well as a significant warming trend during that millennium." Karlén has also criticized the mainstream media for "spreading the exaggerated views of a human impact on climate." He was also named in a 2007 minority report of the U.S. Senate Environment and Public Works Committee as one of 400 "prominent scientists" who were said to dispute global warming. In 2010, he predicted that natural climate changes, caused to a large degree by the sun's activity, would more likely make the climate colder than warmer in the next decades. He was a contributing author to the Fraser Institute 2007 Independent Summary for Policymakers. Karlén was a member of the Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences and editor-in-chief of the journal Geografiska Annaler Series A, Physical Geography from 2004 to 2010. (en)
- Vibjörn (Wibjörn) Karlén, född 26 augusti 1937, död 22 oktober 2021 i Uppsala, var en svensk paleoklimatolog och naturgeograf. Vibjörn Karlén var son till jägmästaren och prästen Arild Karlén, som var kyrkoherde i Grytnäs, och Iris, född Svensonne. Han disputerade 1976 vid Stockholms universitet med avhandlingen Holocene climatic fluctuations indicated by glacier and tree-limit variations in northern Sweden. Vibjörn Karlén var professor i naturgeografi vid Stockholms universitet. Han var föreståndare för Tarfala forskningsstation 1985–1995. Han var ledamot i Kungliga Vetenskapsakademien och engagerade sig också i debatten om klimatförändring där han tvivlade på att jordens temperatur höjs och ansåg att "Koldioxidutsläppen har varit en välsignelse för mänskligheten.". Karlén undertecknade 2008 tillsammans med 15 andra professorer och fyra docenter ett upprop från den klimatskeptiska organisationen Stockholmsinitiativet där man framhöll att "Vetenskapen är inte enig om klimatlarmen".
