Green In The Media 31st January - 6th February

There's a chance to Know Thy Enemy with this week's Storyville which takes a look at Climate Sceptics. I just hope it doesn't give them too much credence.

Meet the Climate Sceptics.
Rupert Murray gets to the heart of climate scepticism to examine the key arguments against man-made global warming and to try to understand the people who are making them. Do they have the evidence that we are heating up the atmosphere or are they taking a grave risk with our future by dabbling in complicated science they don't fully understand? Britain's pre-eminent sceptic Lord Christopher Monckton tours the world broadcasting his message to the public and politicians, but can he convince them and Murray that there is nothing to worry about?
