The ex Spanish Prime Minister said climate change was not real.

Ex Spanish Prime Minister, José María Aznar, has hit out at those ‘standard-bearers of the apocalypse’ who continue to warn about climate change.

He made the charge at the presentation in Madrid today of a book in Spanish ‘Blue Planet (Not Green)’ written by the President of the Czech Republic, Vackla Klaus, which has been edited by the FAES far right-wing think tank of which Aznar is President.

Aznar said that climate change is not a real phenomenon, but only a ‘scientifically questionable’ theory which had become the new religion, the followers of which were the ‘enemies of freedom’.

His words fly in the face of the conclusions from 2,500 scientists who make up the Inter-governmental panel on Climate Change (IPCC) of the United Nations, on the human causes of global warming and the serious consequences that will be produced if CO2 emissions are not reduced.
