A scientist has divided the people after claiming that climate change has already ended two decades ago and calling United Nation’s report a “nonsense.
”
Following the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change’s report in which they claimed that doom is inevitable if the use of coal doesn’t end in the following 32 years, a climate scientist said coral reefs face no danger from climate change.
In the report, the experts predicted that as much as 90 % of coral reefs would be destroyed by 2100 if the planet warms up by another 1.5 degrees Celsius.
Lashing back at the claims was professor Richard Lindzen, a US Academy of Sciences member, who claimed that no significant warming took place in the last 20 years.
“They aren’t in danger,” Lindzen, who has written over two hundred papers on the topic of climate change, said.
“Ocean acidification actually means that the oceans might become a little less basic. Coral’s regularly survive such fluctuations. Moreover, it is well known that corals recover from bleaching.”
“I can’t imagine what suicidal instincts reside in Australia’s political class,” he added, accusing the climate change movement of trying to overturn industrial civilization.
“In asking me to comment on the Australian response, you are asking the wrong person. You need to speak to someone specializing in abnormal psychology.”
Taking to the stage to present his lecture for the Global Warming Policy Foundation, the professor also claimed “false evidence” is being used in an attempt to “promote the overturn of industrial civilization.”
“An implausible conjecture backed by false evidence and repeated incessantly … is used to promote the overturn of industrial civilization,” Lindzen said in his speech in London.
“What we will be leaving our grandchildren is … a landscape degraded by rusting wind farms and decaying solar panel arrays.”
