FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE:
W.A LIBERAL TO ADDRESS CONFERENCE ON
CLIMATE
West Australia Liberal Dr Dennis Jensen will deliver the opening address to the
annual conference of the Australian Environment Foundation in Canberra tomorrow.
Dr Jensen will reinforce the message that environmental matters and climate change
in particular, can only be dealt with effectively on the basis of science and evidence.
Dr Jensen said today There are multiple components that concern me with the issue
of anthropogenic global warming and reductions in carbon dioxide emissions. As I
have stated on many occasions the science is not settled.
Dr Jensen will be followed by internationally recognised scientist, Professor Garth
Paltridge, author of the recently released book The Climate Capers. Professor
Paltridge calls into question the alarmism surrounding climate science.
Author of the widely acclaimed Skeptics Handbook, which has had 160,000 copies
distributed in four countries, Joanne Nova will address the conference on
communicating science through the media.
Kevin Andrews MP will follow up his recent article on the other big question for our
planet population growth. His presentation, Population Boom or Bust is
expected to stir plenty of interest.
The conference will be held at Rydges Capital Hill National Circuit, Forrest starting at
9am.
