Adrian Michael Berry, 4th Viscount Camrose (15 June 1937–18 April 2016[1]) was a British hereditary peer, journalist and writer.

Biography

Berry was born in 1937, the elder son of Michael Berry, who was later created Lord Hartwell, and disclaimed the family title of Viscount Camrose, by his marriage to Lady Pamela Smith, the daughter of F.E. Smith.[1] Adrian Berry was educated at Eton and Christ Church, Oxford. From 1977 until 1996, he was the science correspondent of The Daily Telegraph. On stepping down from that position he became the paper's Consulting Editor (Science).[1] He was a Fellow of the Royal Geographical Society, a Fellow of the Royal Astronomical Society, and a Fellow of the British Interplanetary Society.

Marriage & Family

In 1967, Berry married Marina Beatrice Sulzberger, daughter of Cyrus Sulzberger (a member of the family which owns The New York Times) and Marina Tatiana Ladas. The couple had two children:[2]

Climate change

In his article published in The Sunday Telegraph in 2015, Berry argued that climate change "has more to do with the violent outbursts of energy that our solar system meets on its eternal passage through the Milky Way" than on the "fashionable theory of climate change caused by carbon dioxide" which "is contradicted by all the geological evidence."[3] Berry served on the advisory committee of the Global Warming Policy Foundation (GWPF)[4]—a think tank that promotes climate-change denial[5] and warns against the "extremely damaging and harmful policies" proposed by governments to mitigate anthropogenic global warming.[6][7] [8][9]
