group of prominent Australian scientists has
warned climate sceptic MPs against wasting time and parliamentary resources on
an inquiry into the evidence of human influence on climate change.
The scientists have sent a letter to West Australian MPs
Dennis Jensen and Chris Back, offering to brief them on the latest science
instead.
The letter was sent by Professor Ove Hoegh-Guldberg from the
University of Queensland's Global Change Institute and co-signed by 12 others,
including Professor Will Steffen from the Australian National University and
Professor Lesley Hughes from Macquarie University.
Dr Jensen and Mr Back supported a motion at the federal
Liberal council meeting last month, which called for a parliamentary inquiry to
examine the evidence of climate change before the Government signs up to post
2020 emissions targets.
