Professor Ian Chubb has written an opinion piece on
climate change in response to recent articles by the Chairman of the
Prime Minister’s Business Advisory Council Maurice Newman.
“After his three recent articles on climate change, most recently in
Wednesday’s Australian, it is clear that Maurice Newman and I can agree on a
number of things. We can now agree, for
example, that climate change is real, not a myth or a delusion. We can agree that he is not a climate
scientist; and we would agree that I am not one either. We would, I think, agree that ‘climate’ is
the result of complex interactions of multiple variables, many of them natural
– but I would say not all.
“We diverge when it comes to the impact of greenhouse gases. While we agree that carbon dioxide is a
greenhouse gas, Maurice Newman wrote of ‘the myth of anthropological climate
change’ and suggested that it is one in a list of popular delusions.”
