Australian Government puts up $4m to back climate contrarian

T

he Australian government has pledged $4 million to help Danish climate contrarian Bjørn Lomborg establish a “climate consensus centre” at the University of Western Australia.

According to the Guardian Australia, a spokesman for education minister Christopher Pyne said that the country would pay $4 million over four years to help Lomborg establish a centre based off the same methodology used at his Copenhagen Consensus Center, which operated from 2004 to 2012.

In 2012, it was defunded by the Danish government, and has been operating in the United States with backing from private investors since.
