BBC reprimanded over 'serious' lapses in Radio 4 show mocking climate science

Programme presented by the Daily Mail's Quentin Letts failed to make clear that the Met Office's views on climate change were backed by most scientists

The BBC has been reprimanded for a "serious" breach of rules on impartiality and accuracy over a Radio 4 show that featured climate sceptics mocking the science behind global warming.

The episode of What's the Point of..., presented by Daily Mail columnist Quentin Letts, focused on the Met Office, which backs the opinion of the majority of the world's scientists that climate change is being caused by human activity.
