Fielding the Hard Questions on Climate Change (Part 4)
STEVE Fielding recently attended a climate change conference in Washington, DC.

Senator Steve Fielding recently returned from ‘The Third International Climate Change Conference’ in Washington indicating that he was unconvinced carbon dioxide was driving global warming and that he would like to meet with the Minister for Climate Change, Penny Wong, to ask a few questions. The Australian media immediately tried to brand him a ‘sceptic’, but Senator Fielding has continually denied that he is a sceptic, just that he has an obligation to get to the bottom of a couple of issues before he votes on the important legislation.
Senator Wong organised to meet with him and Australia’s chief scientist Penny Sackett. The meeting apparently took place yesterday and Senator Fielding apparently brought along some other scientists including some so-called sceptics.
