News Corp columnist Ian Plimer's climate denialism called out by press council
Plimer is a professor of geology and well-known climate change denier who has served as a director of a number of mining firms, including Gina Rinehart’s Roy Hill Holdings and Queensland Coal Investments.In reviewing the article last November, University of New South Wales professor Katrin Meissner wrote: “This article is an impressive collation of the well known, scientifically wrong, and overused denier arguments. It is ideologically motivated and, frankly, utter nonsense.”
Plimer is regularly quoted and feted by Andrew Bolt as Australia's preeminent expert on Climate Change
