Channel Four news tonight looked at global warming in the context of the cold and long winter we are still enduring. Myles Allen, Nigel Arnell and Bjorn Lomborg were interviewed.

It was interesting to listen to Nigel Arnell, who specialises in climate impacts, talking almost solely about policy responses. This was to some extent dictated by the questions he was asked, but if journalists don't understand the extent of a meteorologist's expertise then it does go a long way to explaining the pickle we are in. The scientist as policy advocate is not an animal that we should be encouraging.
