BBC apologises for Radio 4 show that mocked climate science

Show did not make clear climate sceptics are a minority voice, broadcaster admits, in 'an unfortunate lapse' of editorial policy, reports Climate Home

The BBC has apologised for airing a half-hour radio show earlier this year in which a series of high-profile climate sceptics lined up to disparage the science behind global warming.

What's the point of the Met Office, aired in August, did not make clear sceptics are a "minority voice, out of step with scientific consensus," the corporation said in an email to climate scientist Andy Smedley.
