Ian Enting is a mathematical physicist and the AMSI/MASCOS Professorial Fellow at the ARC Centre of Excellence for Mathematics and Statistics of Complex Systems (MASCOS) based at The University of Melbourne.

Enting is the author of "Twisted, The Distorted Mathematics of Greenhouse Denial" in which he analyses the presentation and use of data by Climate change sceptics.

From 1980 to 2004 he worked in CSIRO Atmospheric Research, primarily on modelling the global carbon cycle.

He was one of the lead authors of the chapter "CO2 and the Carbon Cycle" in the 1994 IPCC report on "Radiative Forcing of Climate".

Enting has published scientific papers, on mathematical physics and carbon cycle modelling, and a monograph on mathematical techniques for interpreting observations of CO2 and other trace gases.
