Tony Abbott has a Creation Science believer as his top adviser!
Maurice Newman Rejects Climate Change, Because God. In Other Words, by Tom Cummings, 24 April 14 “…….Newman rejects the findings of thousands of scientists from hundreds of organisations scattered across 195 countries, because of the analysis of one man: Roy Spencer.
Who is Roy Spencer? Well, he used to be a senior climate scientist with NASA, although all of his former colleagues there disagree with his stance.
But Spencer has other links… and these underpin not only his rejection of man-made climate change, but Newman’s as well.
You see, besides being a former NASA scientist, Roy Spencer is a signatory to something called “An Evangelical Declaration On Global Warming”. This is a declaration made by the Cornwall Alliance, an organisation committed to bringing a proper and balanced biblical view of stewardship to the critical issues of environment and development”.
And what exactly does the “Evangelical Declaration On Global Warming” have to say? First, that the Earth is a product of Intelligent Design, and is “robust, resilient, self-regulating and self-correcting”.
Second, that fossil and nuclear fuels are indispensable. Third, that reducing CO2 and other greenhouse gas emissions will harm economies.
And fourth, that policies aimed at renewable energy and emission reduction will harm the poor.
There’s a lot more. A LOT more. But that’s the abridged version. The Cornwall Alliance are essentially Christians who think oil and the Bible (not in that order) are the answer to everything.
Roy Spencer, former NASA climate scientist, is a signatory to their Declaration.
And Maurice Newman, chairman of Australia’s Business Advisory Council, believes in Roy Spencer ahead of thousands of other scientists around the world.
Long story short: why does Maurice Newman reject climate change science? Because God. http://tom-cummings.blogspot.com.au/2014/04/maurice-newman-rejects-climate-change.html?spref=tw
