.> One Australia-based international fellow at the #CanonInstituteForGlobalStudies (#CIGS), Prof #JeffreyBraithwaite, told the Guardian the claims about climate science from research director Dr #TaishiSugiyama were “not defensible”.

.> “But this is so far outside the norm and is not #EvidenceBased,” he said. “It is clearly against the assembled evidence on #GlobalWarming and the changing climate and its effects. It is not defensible.”
.> #Braithwaite is a leading international expert on healthcare. He said: “This does not sit comfortably with someone like me who has been actively trying to recognise and promote the science on global warming and to consider its effects on #HumanHealth. We need to follow the science.”

.> Dr #SeitaEmori, a #ClimateScientist at Japan’s National Institute for Environmental Studies, questioned Sugiyama’s reliability as a source on climate change, saying his interpretations of data contradicted the conclusions of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change.
.> “I found his arguments use typical strategies of #ClimateSceptics – if not contrarians – all over the world,” he said.
