Lars Bern

Lars Bern has 35 years of experience in environmental studies and is the founder of foundation Det Naturliga Steget and was previously CEO of Ångpanneföreningen and IVL (Swedish Environmental Institute). In 2008, Bern published an article originally from News Mill but borrowed by Archive.is claiming that "20 top scientists agree that carbon dioxide does not affect the environment". In Klimatupplysningen, a Swedish climate debating movement, Bern stated that the climate change movement is similar to a religious doom cult which legitimizes politicians' rights in the West to increase taxes. In an article published by DagensSPS in 2009, Bern claimed that the "picture of the climate threats are exaggerated.". In an interview on Swebbtv with the host Mikael Willgert, Bern stated that climate politics is a propaganda tool used to frighten the Swedish public. Bern has also claimed that SVT (Sweden's State Television) spread disinformation about climate change and distort research information about melting ice. Bern states, contradicting the scientific consensus on climate change, that the climate change is due to natural causes and that the anthropogenic effect is minimal. Bern has said that reporter Kerstin Unger-Salén, wife of Anders Wijkman, head of the Club of Rome, attacked a straw-man and spread disinformation about Bern's standpoint on the climate change debate. Bern has also stated that the "doomsday climate sect is making Sweden and Swedish families poor".
