Gluckman needs reining in by PM - Newstalk ZB

There is a call for the Prime Minister's chief science advisor Professor Sir Peter Gluckman to be reined in or be given the boot.

Long-time National Party activist and Climate Science Coalition co-founder Terry Dunleavy says when John Key appointed Sir Peter to the role, he said he would be a direct line to advice and an independent voice. Mr Dunleavy says on the issue of climate change, Sir Peter has emerged as nothing more than a propagandist advocate for man-made global warming.

He says he has not only ignored many scientists who have challenged the hypothesis, but has also called them deniers and denialists, which Mr Dunleavy describes as despicable terms.
