A topic from Science & Nature: Climate Change

#172290Thu 15/11/07 22:29

 

This is a special report from the BBC that they have been working on for most of the year, apparently. And I know people know my views, but the BBC is attacked by those who dont agree that its manmade for being biased, and attacked by people like me for giving too much time to the sceptics, so this makes interesting reading for everyone.

Richard Black, our website environment correspondent, has been tackling an ambitious challenge he set himself earlier this year. He wanted to get a better understanding of what so-called "climate sceptics" think, what arguments or evidence they have to counter the view that human activities such as industrial emissions of greenhouse gases and deforestation are bringing potentially dangerous changes to the Earth's climate.

He sent a set of questions to a group of signatories of an open letter which had urged the Canadian government to hold hearings on the scientific foundations of the nation's climate change plan.

He also asked website readers to email him with any research or data they had which supported the view that the scientific establishment is itself biased against climate sceptics.

He got a lot of feedback (though not as much as he expected) and it's taken him more or less until now to sort through it. You can see the results here and in a series of articles this week by Richard and others on the website science pages.
