A climate change authority in Australia has a grand amount of zero clime scientists , after their final climate scientist left the board .
Other climate scientists , admit Professor Clive Hamilton and Professor John Quiggin , left in thwarting after they felt that the government was listening to anti - science counselor-at-law instead of the circuit board of scientist they had appoint .
Now that Professor Karoly has leave as well , the control board can still continue to apprise the government on climate skill , even though none of the board are climate scientists .
quit the board back in March , fellow mood scientist John Quiggin blamed the government for his determination to leave .
" … the government is beholden to right wing anti - science activist in its own ranks and in the medium . Rather than resist these extremists , the Turnbull administration has chosen to treat the lively issues of climate variety and energy security as an opportunity for political point scoring and refinement war rhetoric . "
Now that the authority ’s final climate scientist has left , the politics will look to replace him , but as theHuffington Postdiscovered last calendar month , there may not be any requisite to have a climate scientist on the circuit card , and the government declined to support that they would appoint one .
When questioned , they only stated that : " Government appointments to the CCA will be made consistent with the CCA ’s legislating . "
Karoly toldthe Guardianhe stuck out his term rather than resign because he wanted to provide the best scientific discipline potential to the Australian Parliament .
" I believe that it is important that the Parliament and the Australian people are supply with the best possible main scientific discipline - based advice on Australia ’s mood variety policy . "
alas , with Karoly and the ease of the climate scientists gone from the self-assurance , it ’s improbable they will continue to get the well advice possible on climate change , let alone listen to it .
