Murry Salby

Murry L. Salby is a climate scientist and former chair of climate at Macquarie University, where he worked from 2008 until he was fired in 2013. He is known for claiming that levels of carbon dioxide in Earth's atmosphere are increasing as a result of rising global temperatures, rather than due to human activity like burning of fossil fuels.

Education and career
Salby received his PhD from Georgia Tech in 1978. He formerly worked at the University of Colorado Boulder prior to being hired by Macquarie University. After Macquarie fired him in 2013, he claimed that this had occurred due to his skepticism of man-made global warming, with similar claims made by reporter Andrew Bolt. However, Macquarie University denied these claims, saying his termination was due to misconduct and "...had nothing to do with his views on climate change nor any other views."
