Climate change
In 2002, the Sydney Morning Herald noted that: "Professor Warwick McKibbin, one of Australia's internationally recognised experts on global warming, is not one of the 272 economists petitioning the Federal Government "to ratify the Kyoto Protocol without delay. It is a pretty sad indictment of the profession when people sign these things en masse without expertise," he says. Clive Hamilton, whose Australia Institute pushed the petition, says he "wouldn't waste the postage stamp" inviting McKibbin to enlist because he "serves the Government's interests"." [4]
According to Melinda Howes, writing in a 2002 issue of Actuary Australia: "Warwick McKibbin, professor of international economics at ANU [is] one of the foremost opponents of the Kyoto Protocol."
