Summary: Gareth Morgan couldn't make up his mind who to believe in the climate change debate. Are we really in the grips of global warming? Or is the earth merely undergoing natural variations in temperatiure and weather patterns? In order to find out, Gareth employed two teams of scientists from either side of this debate to give answers to his questions. These teams are made up of some of the best authorities in their subjects in the world. Having visited both Antractica and the Arctic Gareth and Jo add their own observations - and the result is a fascinating read.
