Going against reams of peer-reviewed scientific research that overwhelmingly states man has had a hand in climate change in our lifetime, Les Woodcock, an emeritus professor of chemical thermodynamics at the University of Manchester, told the Yorkshire Evening Post:
"The term 'climate change' is meaningless. The Earth's climate has been changing since time immemorial, that is since the Earth was formed 1,000 million years ago. The theory of 'man-made climate change' is an unsubstantiated hypothesis."
Despite overwhelming evidence from the scientific community backing the climate change claim, Woodcock stands by his argument.
"This is not the way science works," he continued to tell the Yorkshire Evening Post. "If you tell me that you have a theory there is a teapot in orbit between the Earth and the Moon, it's not up to me to prove it does not exist, it's up to you to provide the reproducible scientific evidence for your theory.""

That senile old fuck also believes in Noahs Ark and claims CO2 levels have not increased in the past 100 years.
?We can go back to great floods and Noah?s Ark in the Middle East regions which are now deserts,? he said.
"There is no reproducible scientific evidence CO2 gas even slightly increased in the last 100 years," he argued.
The latter statement is easily disproven with basic instruments. There are no complicated computer models involved in calculating atmospheric CO2. You just measure it. For pre-modern data, you use ice cores. That's it. Two centuries ago, the atmospheric concentration of CO2 was about 280 ppm. Last year it crossed the 400 ppm mark.
No wonder he is a FORMER NASA scientist.
