I didn't see in this article where it describes how Teller's poor reputation in the scientific community might have caused many scientists from dismissing his message.
While he was "ostracized by the scientific community for betraying his colleague J. Robert Oppenheimer" ... "he retained the embrace of industry and government."
It makes no mention of Teller's influence on how other scientists in the 1950s and 1960s viewed global warming.
Agreed, but I think the author implies that scientists didn't trust Teller and therefore weren't listening to him. It's an interesting claim. I have no idea if it's true.
I don't know either, but as the article was about Teller's influence (or lack thereof) on the oil industry, I don't think we can draw a conclusion about his influence on the scientific understanding of global warming.
