A Cambridge professor has reportedly clai med three scientists investigating the effect of global warming upon melting Arctic ice may have been assassinated.

According to Times, Peter Wadhams, a professor of ocean physics, said Seymour Laxon of University College London, Katherine Giles also at UCL and Tim Boyd of the Scottish Association for Marine Science had been murdered, after all three died within a few months of each other in 2013. Wadhams also believed he had been targeted by assassins after claiming that a driver in an unmarked lorry attempted to push his car from the M25.

He hinted that the oil industry or government forces could have contributed to the killing of the three scientists who he has declared as “leaders“ on ice levels in the Arctic.

Professer Laxon, 49, a director of the Centre for Polar Observation at UCL, died after falling down the stairs at a New Year's Eve party in Essex; Dr Boyd, 54, was killed instantly after being struck by ightning while walking his dogs in Port Appin, Argyll, Scotland in January 2013 and Dr Giles, 35, died in April 2013 when struck by a truck in Victoria, central London while cycling to work.

Wadham's theories have been disputed by Dr Laxon's partner, Fiona Strawbridge, head of e-learning at UCL and a close friend of Dr Giles, who has labelled the allegations “ridiculous conspiracy theories“, reports Times. Despite reporting the alleged assassination attempt against his life to the police, Wadhams told Telegraph that he had not announced his theories fearing he may be seen as a “looney“.
