One of the leading UK warmists has begun rethinking his position based on the evidence he is reading...
Tim Yeo: humans may not be to blame for global warming
Humans may not be responsible for global warming, according to Tim Yeo, the MP who oversees government policy on climate change.
"The chairman of the Commons Energy and Climate Change committee said he accepts the earths temperature is increasing but said natural phases may be to blame.
Such a suggestion sits at odds with the scientific consensus. One recent survey of 12,000 academic papers on climate change found 97 per cent agree human activities are causing the planet to warm.
Mr Yeo, an environment minister under John Major, is one of the Conservative Partys strongest advocates of radical action to cut carbon emissions. His comments are significant as he was one of the first senior figures to urge the party to take the issue of environmental change seriously.
He insisted such action is prudent given the threat climate change poses to living standards worldwide. But, he said, human action is merely a possible cause.

Lying by omission? or-----or to lazy to read the entire article?
Westwall C&Ped the part of the article s/he linked to that fit Republican ideology but-----but left out the part that debunks his/her entire hypothesis put forth in the title (Another warmist changes his mind....) of the thread.
See the final paragraph of Westwall's link here ☞Asked about the comments this afternoon, Mr Yeo said: "It is possible there are natural causes as well, but my view has always been that for twenty years I have thought the scientific evidence has been very convincing. The strong probability is that it is man-made causes contributing to greenhouse gas concentrations."
And from another article on the same subject...
IOW's ☞ Mr Yeo insisted that his comments had been taken out of context and said he was highly concerned about the impact of man-made carbon emissions. It is highly probable that human activity has led to a big increase in the concentration of greenhouse gases in the atmosphere and highly probable that that is changing the climate.
Westwall should stop lying or-----or do a more thorough job of researching before posting.
