Dr Jim wants no part in visit | Noosa News | Local News in Noosa | Noosa News

THE Greens Noosa state candidate Dr Jim McDonald is not about to waste his time going along to hear the sort of pseudo scientific “snake oil” that he says climate change sceptic Lord Christopher Monckton peddles.

Dr McDonald is something of a doubting Thomas in that he does not believe the international spokesman for the global warming non-believers is a proper lord.

“And he certainly is not a scientist. What he is is a former journalist who is the PR spokesman for the climate-change lobby,” he said.

Dr McDonald said none of Lord Monckton’s arguments used to deny climate change stood up to serious scientific scrutiny.

“The fact is that you can’t have a scientific debate between non-scientists and scientists,” Dr McDonald said.
