Economist buys into climate scam - NZ Herald News

A renowned economist has accused government minister Rodney Hide and big business interests of spreading misinformation around climate change.

Morgan said the book was designed to get past emotion and misinformation, such as views expressed by Hide.

Hide last year told Parliament climate change data and hypothesis "do not hold together". He called emission trading schemes "a worldwide scam and swindle".

Morgan said: "When I get a non-scientist belching emotion like that, I just think that's gutter of politics. I was trying to clear the room of the Rodneys of this world, and whoever his equivalent is on the other [environmental alarmist] side."
