Government Science Adviser Undermines Climate Change Policy A presentation by the Gillard Government’s science adviser on climate to the Multi-party Climate Change Committee, now revealed publicly for the first time, has seriously undermined the dangerous warming thesis used to justify a policy of reducing emissions of carbon dioxide. The 18 slides and accompanying text used by climate change adviser Professor Will Steffen, which have been examined in the attachments by four independent scientists and me, are rife with errors or misinterpretations of data and a failure to identify important areas where major scientific uncertainties exist. Yet Steffen’s presentation on the state of global warming science on Nov 10 has been used by Ministers (including the Prime Minister) to justify the claim that they have a policy based on “the science” but which, in reality, has little or no substantive scientific basis. by Des Moore - 29 April 2011 The 2011 H R Nicholls Society Conference will ask: How Fair is Fair Work Australia?
