Joint Oireachtas Committee on Climate Action

Third Report of the Citizens' Assembly: Discussion (Resumed)

Mr. Jon Williams:

I hope I have been able to reassure the Deputy that we do not seek to balance climate change deniers and scientists. We aim to be fair and impartial. We would be failing in our responsibility if we did not reflect that 97% of scientists agree that climate change is man made. I cannot answer for what happened previously and I am grateful to the Deputy for acknowledging that things have improved recently.
