Canadian professor of 30 years and TOP environmental adviser to all levels of gov is a fraud

He has no science degree but has being teaching science and has been a top science advisor.

No Science degree whatsoever yet he has been advising all levels of gov in Canada on top environmental issues. Only weeks ago accepted post to study fracking. ONE phone call to the University of Maine uncovered his deception. And guess what he has consistently sided with business interests.

"The long-time academic became a lightning rod for opponents to hydraulic fracturing in the province after producing a report that rejected their calls for a moratorium and instead recommended more research be done while companies drill to establish the commercial viability of the province’s resource."

“With respect to the shale gas issue, the fact that LaPierre fraudulently misrepresented his degrees raises questions about his integrity, objectivity and the credibility of his report,” said Carla Gunn, a New Brunswick environmental writer.
