Climate denier Malcolm Roberts releases dossier

One Nation Senator Malcolm Roberts held a press conference on November 7 to release a 42-page document that claims the CSIRO and Bureau of Meteorology corrupted climate data and that global warming is an international Jewish banking conspiracy to gain global control through environmentalism.

Flanked by Tony Heller, who uses a false name to attack NASA's climate science and retired geography professor Tim Ball, who believes The Club of Rome think-tank is to blame for helping to promote the "greatest deception in history", Roberts said he “respected the Jews" and only appeared on anti-Semitic websites to discuss climate theories. 

When journalists at the event asked questions about One Nation Senator Rod Culleton, party hack James Ashby yelled: "We're not talking about that now." and shut the media conference down.
