Science museum forced to alter name of

The Science Museum is on the fence about climate change

The Science Museum in London has changed the name of its "climate change" gallery to simply "science climate" gallery, because some recent studies suggest that climate change is not as bad as people think.

Before, at the "climate change" gallery, visitors would be told all about the damaging effect humans were having on the earth; like the consequences of rising sea levels.

But now the museum will show both sides of the argument, to acknowledge that some people think fears over climate change have been exaggerated. 

A recent survey found that 30% of people thought that the climate change issue had been blown out of proportion. 

The £4million gallery will now tone down its message on climate change, so that they don't sideline anyone's point of view.
