This is a great site. Great for giving us all a bit of a sanity check. Especially in these days of t'ininternet, when there's so much info at our disposal, the perils of lazy research are multiplied any number of times over.

Take barmy former TV botanist David Bellamy, for example. Unfortunately due to his past career as a self styled TV brainbox on all things nature and science, people could be forgiven for attaching a great deal of credibility to whatever he chooses to blurt out during his mercifully intermittent forays into the world of mass media these days.

There's a hot debate on the go at the moment on topics like global warming, energy consumption, the burning of fossil fuels, greenhouse gasses etc. You might have noticed. There's an even hotter debate on just how much we can link these to one another. David Bellamy holds strong views on such matters and this is unfortunate for two reasons;

1. People who don't know any better assume he knows what he's talking about
2. He apparently lost his marbles some time ago

We found this nice little piece that demonstrates the value of checking your facts out.
