UWA backs away from climate change debate

摘要

Agricultural consultants have expressed disappointment at the University of Western Australia's (UWA) attitude towards a planned debate on global warming. After hearing predictions of the impact that global warming could have on WA farming, consultants Bill Crabtree and David Falconer approached UWA to hold a debate representing both sides of the global warming argument.They said after getting the initial go-ahead from UWA's vice-chancellor professor Alan Robson they were told that no speakers could be found for the pro-global warming side and that the speakers the pair had organised to speak against global warming werenot credible enough to speak at a debate on UWA grounds.
