OUTSPOKEN academic geologist Ian Plimer says people are embracing his latest book on the science behind climate change because they are "disenfranchised" and increasingly frustrated with the "selective evidence" being presented about global warming.
The professor of mining geology at Adelaide University this morning launched Heaven and Earth: Global Warming the Missing Science.
Professor Plimer told The Australian he had spent more than three years looking at the science behind climate change, concluding that too much emphasis had been placed on the level of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere in scientific modelling, and the world's warming should not be blamed on increased human activity.
"The evidence that we hear in public is very selective, the evidence that I give is comprehensive," the earth scientist said.
"When you look at the selective evidence, then there's a chance that you might be frightened about the end of the world."
