Talk
From natural cycles to global conspiracies, many arguments are used to challenge the scientific consensus on climate change. But how well do these arguments stand up and do the people using these arguments merit the label of skeptics?
In this talk we’ll have a quick look at the evidence for climate change and then examine some of the most common arguments against the consensus and assess the level of “scepticism” at work.
