Israel’s Environmental Protection Minister, Idit Silman, reportedly met with a group of climate change sceptics on Thursday.

According to a report by an Israeli newspaper, Haaretz, Silman and The Director-General of the Environmental Protection Ministry, Guy Samet, met with members of the so-called Rational Environmentalism Forum, a group promoting scepticism of the general scientific view on climate change.

Members of the group included Professors Yonatan Dubi, Hallel Gershoni, and Micha Klein who are well-known for their denial of climate change.

It was learned that the group presented Silman and Samet with information claiming Israel’s climate-related activity is meaningless, expressed doubt over human involvement in causing climate change, and was sceptical about its severity.

In response, Silman’s office stated that over the previous week, she had meetings with a wide array of persons from the Jewish, Arab, and ultra-Orthodox public, while also listening to alternative viewpoints.

“On Wednesday, the minister and the director-general met with dozens of environmental organizations that they invited to a lengthy meeting, with a series of topics on the agenda, and on Thursday they responded to a request by another forum that asked to meet with them,” the ministry said in a statement.

“In both meetings… the director general and the minister noted the challenges and ministry plans of action, listened to all the bodies, and expressed a willingness to listen and be heard,” it added.
