Summary

Multiple climate reports have been published this week all saying a similar thing: that the UK and wider world are experiencing record temperatures, that humanity is "inducing" climate change and that, unless we cut emissions, things are just going to get even hotter.

There are still some people however who believe it’s all hot air; that media coverage of climate stories is “fear mongering” and “manipulating”. But is it the science under scrutiny, or perhaps the path to net zero itself?

On the Sky News Daily, Niall Paterson is joined by our climate change reporter Victoria Seabrook, editor and director of Carbon Brief Leo Hickman, and James Woudhuysen, visiting professor of forecasting and innovation at London South Bank University, to find out why, despite the science, climate scepticism is getting louder.
