Greenhouse critic says views cost him his job

A FORMER CSIRO division chief and world expert on climate change says he was reprimanded and encouraged to take redundancy after joining a group of scientists urging action to cut greenhouse gases.

Graeme Pearman says he fell out with the CSIRO hierarchy after joining the Australian Climate Group, which was convened by the Insurance Australia Group and the World Wildlife Fund in 2004. It worked to encourage political leaders to consider carbon trading and other measures to reduce greenhouse gas emissions. The Government has said it will not pursue carbon trading at this stage.
