University of Pretoria professor: MAN-MADE global warming is not real

allAfrica.com: Namibia: Climate Change a Fallacy - South African Professor (Page 1 of 1)

MAN-MADE global warming is not real, a Professor from the University of Pretoria charged in Windhoek last week.

Professor Will Alexander claimed that claims by environmentalists that climate change was real were not true and if the world was warmer now, it was simply caused by natural climatic variability.

He said while environmentalists claim that rainfall will decrease because of climate change, rainfall has in fact increased during the last century.

According to him, it was also not true that the frequency of tropical cyclones, droughts and floods will increase.

"There is no evidence on that," said Alexander.

He claimed that disasters such as this year's floods in the North were caused by natural climatic variability and people were affected because they were now living in areas prone to natural disasters, whereas before they lived in higher-lying areas.

But Dr Omu Kakujaha from the University of Namibia said whether climate change or climate variability was real or not, it has a negative impact on Namibia's economy.
