"Leaked UN global warming report written by environmental activists"

"While many media outlets focused on the UN’s warnings about the effects global warming will have on food production, the Canadian journalist who leaked the report on Monday has focused on the role environmental activists played in reaching these conclusions."

“One would expect a body that says it’s conducting a scientific assessment to choose people who are clean as a whistle for such a task,” writes Donna Laframboise. “People who exemplify science at its best — neutral, dispassionate, disinterested scholars. But that’s not what happened.”

Those chosen included individuals connected to influential environmental groups. One such person is Michael Oppenheimer who worked with the Environmental Defense Fund for more than two decades and still advises the group to this day, according to his online biography.

Another activist who worked on the climate report’s summary was Australian marine biologist Ove Hoegh-Guldberg. According to Laframboise, the Aussie worked with Greenpeace and the World Wildlife Fund. Hoegh-Guldberg was the author of various reports on global warming for both these groups.

A third activist that Laframboise pointed to was New Zealand medical doctor Alistair Woodward. The Canadian journalist argues that Woodward “has published articles that could be mistaken for political manifestos,” including a 2009 article that urges doctors to “Educate and encourage patients…in climate change action” and “Make Green Prescriptions.”
