Ray Evans (10 September 1939 – 17 June 2014) was an Australian businessperson, political conservative, and campaigner against climate change mitigation efforts.
From July 2001 to June 2014, he was the director of Ray Evans & Associates, a consultancy specialising in political and economic advice.
[3] Evans was a founder of the Lavoisier Group, which opposed the ratification of the Kyoto Protocol treaty, believing that the science associated with global warming was uncertain.
In collaboration with Morgan, Evans worked against the Kyoto treaty, and was central to the campaign to prevent the former Federal Liberal government from taking actions to cut emissions.
[9][10] Evans was quoted in The Age as saying that Al Gore's film An Inconvenient Truth is "bullshit from beginning to end", and that "the carbon-dioxide link [to global warming] is increasingly recognised as irrelevant".
