I did a quick background check of the ones that I could but I don't remember the details; none appeared to have proper training in climate matters, though, that I recall. But just listed in the article itself you've got "sustainable consumption", "marine biology", "carbon management", "cognitive psychologist", etc. (The other day I ran across someone claiming in an online post to be a "climatologist", but in fact his other posts said that he was an oceanographer.) Those fields are at best only tangentially related to matters of climate, and there's probably not a properly trained climatologist in the bunch.
It astounds me that the field of climate science is taken so seriously when it appears to actually mostly just be full of hangers-on, also-rans, and wannabes. And I can think of a few big names in it who have little to no scientific training at all.
