Google’s Eric Schmidt calls global warming skeptics ‘liars’
In a recent statement, Google Executive Chairman Eric Schmidt said that environmental groups which are trying to cast doubt on climate change science are "just literally lying."
With Google apparently trying to double down on the theory that global temperatures are rising due to atmospheric CO2, Schmidt's recent remarks have come against the backdrop of the fact that Google has decided to withdraw its financial support from a group, the American Legislative Exchange Council (ALEC).
Although Google -one of the world's richest and most powerful companies - evidently supports ALEC on other grounds, the company's decision to stop supporting the group financially seemingly stems from ALEC's questioning of the climate change dogma whose models have failed to predict the last 17 years of evidence.
With ALEC having asserted that the climate change created by humans could be "beneficial," and with the group thus opposing environmental regulations, Schmidt said in his recent statement that global warming skeptics are 'liars.'
Schmidt further added that it was a "mistake" on the part of Google to back the ALEC.
