C

onspiracy theories have always busied the thoughts of those generously labelled as “kooks”.

Maurice Newman - "climate
change UN-led ruse".

Chairman of the Prime Minister's business advisory council, Maurice Newman, has written in The Australian arguing that scientific modelling showing the link between humans and climate change is wrong and the real agenda is a world takeover for the UN.

A story in the Sydney Morning Herald - “Climate change a UN-led ruse, says Tony Abbott's businessadviser Maurice Newman” – says Australia’s Environment Minister, Greg Hunt, has said Mr Newman's position was not a view "I have or would express".
