Climate change
In his article published in The Telegraph in 2015, Berry argued that climate change "has more to do with the violent outbursts of energy that our solar system meets on its eternal passage through the Milky Way" than on the "fashionable theory of climate change caused by carbon dioxide" which "is contradicted by all the geological evidence."[2] Berry is on the advisory committee of the Global Warming Policy Foundation (GWPF)[3]—a think tank that promotes climate-change denial[4] and warns against the "extremely damaging and harmful policies" proposed by governments to mitigate anthropogenic global warming.[5][6] [7][8]
