Scepticism
Wikipedia.com:   is generally any questioning attitude towards knowledge, facts, or opinions/beliefs stated as facts, or doubt regarding claims that are taken for granted elsewhere.


In texts:
The author doesn’t fully believe/support what other people claim. You can hear the author thinking: “Yeah. Right. I believe you. NOT.” or “I don’t think you can really claim that because there is no scientific proof”.

Sceptical: doubting that something is true or useful.

Irony
A simple way of putting it is that irony usually signals a difference between the appearance of things and reality. For instance, here is how Wikipedia defines it: “Ironic statements (verbal irony) often convey a meaning exactly opposite from their literal meaning.

In ironic situations (situational irony), actions often have an effect exactly opposite from what is intended.”  The discovery of gunpowder is a great example of situational irony, whereby Chinese alchemists invented one of the world’s most destructive tools in their quest for immortality.
