’I believe this whole human-induced climate change issue is a huge fraud and really a non-issue,’ says UWI lecturer Reynold Stone.
Dr Stone, a senior lecturer in the Faculty of Science and Agriculture, is not some lone kook. There are leading scientists around the world insisting that many of the common beliefs about climate change and its effects are media-fuelled hype, abetted by scientists and politicians

Stanford University climatologist Stephen Schneider, one of the leading spokesmen about global warming, admits, ’We have to get some broad base support. That, of course, entails getting loads of media coverage. So we have to offer up scary scenarios, make simplified dramatic statements, and make little mention of doubts we might have.’ But money and status are also factors: climate scientist Richard Lindzen of the Massachusetts Institute of Technology says, ’Scientists who dissent from the alarmism have seen their grant funds disappear, their work derided, and themselves labelled as industry stooges, scientific hacks, or worse.’
