Science Museum's New Climate Science Gallery

HRH Prince of Wales will open the Science Museum's new gallery on climate science on 3rd December. Professor Chris Rapley CBE, Director of the Science Museum, said, “The Science Museum’s role is to make sense of the science that shapes our lives – our latest addition, atmosphere, aims to make sense of one of the biggest issues today, climate change." Amen to that. I have recently been engaged in a frustrating exchange with a deep sceptic who will simply not accept the basic principles on scientific investigation and who will quote any old sceptical blob in support of his stance. The trouble is he is articulate and the whole of his discourse has a veneer of reasonableness which could easily sway the unpersuaded. So, good luck Science Museum (and hopefully we won't have any of HRH's more bizarre beliefs on show).
