UK official: man-made climate change is a con

DUP environment minister Sammy Wilson says, “I still think man-made climate change is a con.”

Spending billions on trying to reduce carbon emissions is one giant con that is depriving third world countries of vital funds to tackle famine, HIV and other diseases.

Wilson has been heavily criticized by environmentalists for claiming that ongoing climatic shifts are caused by nature and not mankind.

He claims most commentators on the matter don't have a clue what they are talking about and are only going along with the consensus because the issue is popular.
