Australian scientist - Tim Flannery
Climate change is very big and moving very fast. As the planet hots up, has the political will to save it melted away? Stephen Sackur talks to Australia's most eminent scientist.
Meteorologists at the UN say the last four years were globally the hottest on record. Sean Ley talks to one of Australia's most eminent scientists who argues that current warming is 'unparalleled' in 2,000 years. Climate change, he says is happening 30 times faster than the melting of the ice at the last Ice Age. Is the political will to save the planet melting too?
