"Alan Jones is wrong": The radio commentator was slammed over climate change remarks on Q&A science panel.
2GB’s Alan Jones copped a brutal shutdown on Q&A over a single digit he infamously quoted to make a point and was slammed by a panel of science experts for downplaying human impact on climate change, after he said we only contribute three per cent to greenhouse gas emissions during his own Q&A appearance last month.
Professor David Karoly, an Australian atmospheric scientist based at CSIRO, bluntly responded: “Not everything Jones says is factually accurate.”
Prof Karoly said that, while it’s correct that 0.04 per cent of the world’s atmosphere is carbon dioxide, Jones’ statistics around humans causing climate change, and the role Australians specifically play, is completely false.
