Peter Taylor (b. 24 Jan 1948) is a UK environmentalist with a long track record of public activism and scholarship on issues ranging from nuclear safety,〔〔 ocean pollution,〔 biodiversity strategies,〔 renewable energy and climate change.〔 His recent work on global warming has been questioned by environmentalists.〔 His 2009 book ''Chill: a reassessment of global warming theory'' argued that most of the recent documented warming is caused by peaking natural cycles, that there is also a potential for global cooling and that adaptation not mitigation should be a priority. His views received widespread coverage in the media – with front page on the ''Daily Express'', and articles in the online versions of ''The Mail'', ''The Times'' and an Al Jazeera video.〔 ==Education==
Born in January, 1948, Taylor was educated at Cowbridge Grammar School in Glamorgan, Wales from where he won an Open Scholarship to St Catherine's College, Oxford University. He graduated with honours in Natural Sciences from the School of Zoology in 1970. As a student he led a successful inter-university biological expedition to East Africa;〔 After six years of what he describes in his autobiography ''Shiva's Rainbow'' as an adventurer and explorer, including a solo vehicle-crossing of the Sahara and climbing the Eiger, he returned to Oxford to study Social Anthropology under the linguistic anthropologist Edwin Ardener. Taylor has been a member of the Institute of Biology and is a Certified Biologist, a former member of the International Union of Radioecologists, the International Society for Radiation Protection and the British Ecological Society.
