Fraudulent claim by Professor Neil Adger

NI Minister condemned for climate claim

Environment Minister Sammy Wilson raised the suggestion that the IPCC’s latest report was adapted to remove evidence that human activities had little or no impact on global warming. Wilson had previously gained a reputation as something of an enviro-sceptic due to his opposition to the creation of a dedicated independent environmental protection agency in the region.

“The science of climate change could not be clearer. Anyone who disputes these facts is either a fool or is seeking deliberately to mislead for political or other purposes,” said Professor Neil Adger, from the School of Environmental Sciences at the University of East Anglia and lead author in the IPCC. “The IPCC is the most rigorous science available – on its evidence every country, province and indeed individual needs to act now – anything else is a dereliction of our duty of care to ourselves and our future.”
