As a casual reader it can be very difficult to make up your mind what to think about the climate debate. Newspapers always set themselves up as authoritative sources of information but it’s also important to check the background of your authority figure. I’m not suggesting you get into conspiracy theories or any of that craziness but balance out the sources of information you are using.
