In a special Radio 4 series the BBC’s Environmental Analyst Roger Harrabin questions whether his own reporting – and that of others – has adequately told the whole story about global warming. 

He finds that the public under-estimate the degree of consensus among scientists that humans have already contributed towards the heating of the climate , and will almost certainly heat the climate more, but he also finds that politicians and the media often fail to clearly show the uncertainties in how our climate may change in the future.

This two-part report speaks to some of the leading players in climate science, and the Met Office has contributed to the programme with Dr. Vicky Pope appearing in part two of the series.

Episode one is available on BBC iPlayer at the moment and episode two airs next Monday 6th September, 9am on BBC Radio 4 FM.
