Grist: Theres a fine line between impartial and stupid, and the BBC has been working the wrong side of the line. A report by the independent BBC Trust has concluded that the public broadcaster has been giving too much air time to climate deniers. Broadcasts, the report stated, should more accurately represent the best available science - or, as The Telegraph elegantly put it, BBC staff told to stop inviting cranks on to science programmes.

Press Association: After an early spring and summer, the year is now racing towards autumn ahead of schedule, conservationists have said. As the year reached the half-way mark, the National Trust said wildlife seemed to have come through the wettest and stormiest winter on record and nature had hurtled "helter-skelter" through the seasons since. Now signs of autumn are already in the hedgerows and woods, National Trust naturalist Matthew Oates said. "Looking at this year, where does it want to be? It raged...
