BBC Climate Watch

The BBC is a public service provider, required to inform and educate. Climate change is one of the most important issues facing humanity and the natural world. The BBC has been criticised for not giving due prominence to this topic. I want to see whether this is warranted.

(Been in a twcoma, this just so they don't pull the plug. Hope to re-exist soon...)
