From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Dr Dennis Jensen (born 28 February 1962 in South Africa), Australian politician, was elected to the Australian House of Representatives at the 9 October 2004 federal election for the Division of Tangney, Western Australia, for the Liberal Party. He was educated at RMIT University, Melbourne University and Monash University, from where he has a PhD in nuclear physics. He was a research scientist with the CSIRO and a defence analyst before entering politics. He was the Liberal candidate for the Division of Corio, Victoria at the 1998 election.
In 2006, Dr Jensen lost his pre-selection for the division of Tangney for the 2007 federal election. Dr Jensen later won back his preselection with the support of prime minister John Howard.
Dr Jensen is a skeptic of human induced global warming and, on behalf of the Lavoisier Group, organised the release of a book [1] entitled Nine Facts About Climate Change by former mining CEO Ray Evans [2]. In February 2007 during a Parliamentary sitting, Jensen quoted the IPCC Vice Chairman Yuri Izrael who stated that "there is no proven link between human activity and global warming".[3]
