Lead author of UN climate report removes name from report: Says colleagues ‘drifted too far to the alarmist side’ & were likening climate change to the ‘Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse’
Via UK Daily Mail: Professor Richard Tol, an economist at the University of Sussex, said the drafts had been changed to make the findings more ‘apocalyptic’. He said colleagues ‘drifted too far to the alarmist side’ and were likening climate change to the ‘Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse’. His section of the report, based on 18 economic studies, predicted in early drafts that global warming of 2.5°C would cut economic output by between 0.2 and 2 per cent a year – much less than the previous estimates of up to 20 per cent.
