Tim Yeo: We Are All Climate Sceptics Now

Humans may not be responsible for global warming, the MP who oversees government policy on climate change has said. Tim Yeo, the chairman of the Commons Energy and Climate Change committee, said he accepts the earth’s temperature is increasing but said “natural phases” may be to blame. He said: “Although I think the evidence that the climate is changing is now overwhelming, the causes are not absolutely clear. There could be natural causes, natural phases that are taking place.” Mr Yeo has previously spoken with great certainty about the science of climate change. He said in 2009: "The dying gasps of the deniers will be put to bed. In five years time, no one will argue about a man-made contribution to climate change.” --Matthew Holehouse, The Daily Telegraph, 29 May 2013
