Morgan rides off for climate debate

Morgan rides off for climate debate - Wellington - The Dominion Post

Gareth Morgan is about to ride off into the sunset on another motorcycling adventure.

Not satisfied with crossing the Silk Road from Europe to China and riding the length of Africa, the 55-year-old Wellington economist will head out on Tuesday to the northern parts of Europe with wife Jo and fellow riders Rob Clausen, Phil Lough and Tony Armstrong, hoping to find out whether the threat of climate change is real.

Mr Morgan said he was writing a book about climate change from a layman's perspective.

But he was unsure whom to believe - climate change "alarmists" or sceptics.
