Climate change sceptics are playing games with the scientific evidence

THE global warming debate is certainly hotting up, with your columnist Ryle Dwyer adding his voice to the chatter (Irish Examiner, January 17).

It is difficult for any of us to decide where the truth is most likely to lie when supposed experts disagree. This is especially the case where a high degree of scepticism is an essential component of the scientific method.

We could attempt to understand the basis of the arguments and then draw our own conclusions. In the case of global warming this is perfectly possible as the key indicators are easy enough to grasp.
