Watch: Climate skeptic Dr. Peter Ridd mocks claims that he is ‘funded’: ‘I have been waiting on the phone for two decades for a call from Big Oil, and it never comes’

Dr Peter Ridd has been researching the Great Barrier Reef and other things since 1984, has invented a range of advanced scientific instrumentation, and written over 100 scientific publications. Since being fired by James Cook University for raising concerns about science quality assurance issues, Peter Ridd receives no payment for any of the work he does.
