Climate Change Scientist Arrested For Defrauding The Public
A climate change scientist has been arrested in Australia on charges of defrauding taxpayers out of $556,000 in false expenses since 2008. Daniel Alongi has admitted to creating false invoices, credit card statements and emails, and his arrest has raised serious concerns over the validity of his climate research. Heartland.org reports: During the period of Alongi’s alleged fraud, his research focusing on the impact of climate change on the Great Barrier Reef, coastal mangroves, and coastal ecosystems was published in numerous national and international journals.
