Christiana Figueres a real expert on bushfires or even climate change. she is 53, comes from the best known political dynasty in Costa Rica. Her father, José Figueres Ferrer, was elected president of Costa Rica three times, while her mother, Karen Olsen, was Costa Rican ambassador to Israel. Figueres has a Masters Degree in Anthropology from the London School of Economics, and a certificate in Organizational Development from Georgetown University.
Yes first we have Adam Bandt a lawyer pretending to be an authority on science no Green hidden agenda here.
Then we have Christina Figueres an anthropologist appointed as Costarican politician Executive Secretary of the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC).
Yes how else do we achieve funding let blame the bush fires that have been happening for the last 65 million years on climate change.
My answer to this and at least these people have a science qualification at tertiary level and beyond.
By Graham Tibbetts 12:46PM BST 30 May 2008 The academics, including 9,000 with PhDs, claim that greenhouse gases such as carbon dioxide and methane are actually beneficial for the environment.
The petition was created in 1998 by an American physicist, the late Frederick Seitz, in response to the Kyoto Protocol a year earlier.
It urged the US government to reject the treaty and said: "The proposed limits on greenhouse gases would harm the environment, hinder the advance of science and technology, and damage the health and welfare of mankind."
It added: "There is no convincing scientific evidence that human release of ... greenhouse gases is causing or will, in the forseeable future, cause catastrophic heating of the Earth’s atmosphere and disruption of the Earth’s climate. Moreover, there is substantial scientific evidence that increases in atmospheric carbon dioxide produce many beneficial effects upon the natural plant and animal environments."
The petition was reissued last year by the Oregon Institute of Science and Medicine, an independent research group, partly in response to Al Gore’s film on climate change, An Inconvenient Truth.
The verdict couldn't have come at a less convenient time for Al Gore.
One day before Friday's announcement that he was a co-winner of the Nobel Peace Prize, a British High Court judge ruled that Gore's global warming film, "An Inconvenient Truth," while "broadly accurate," contained nine significant errors.
The ruling came on a challenge from a UK school official who did not want to show the film to students. High Court Judge Michael Burton said that the film is "substantially founded upon scientific research and fact" but that the errors were made in "the context of alarmism and exaggeration."
