Graham Stringer

In 2014, together with Peter Lilley, the Conservative MP for Hitchin and Harpenden, Graham Stringer attempted unsuccessfully to remove the sentence from a government committee report endorsing the IPCC's projections of future climate change. They also tried to edit out a paragraph which suggested that the temporary slowdown, or hiatus, in the rate of global warming "does not undermine the core conclusions" of the report, and that "warming is expected to continue in the coming decades". Stringer has also previously argued that independent investigations into the emails hacked from the University of East Anglia in 2009 had not been rigorous enough to clear scientists at the Climatic Research Unit of misconduct.
