Christmas Lectures and Climate

Did you watch the Royal Institution Christmas Lectures as a child? They've been going since the early eighteen hundreds, with presenters including Sir David Attenborough - and scientist Michael Faraday. Paul Hudson meets Helen Scales, who has chosen her favourite eleven Christmas Lectures - and discovers some fascinating facts about the weather and climate. And will 2017 go down as one of the warmest year in history? It seems likely, as Paul finds out in his weekly chat with the Met Office.
