Climate Extremes - Dangers & Hope (with David Shukman)

from Planet Possible · host Planet Possible

David Shukman is shocked. Both at the climate change induced extremes that Britain now faces... and the nation's lack of preparedness. In his new book 'The Response - A Story of Fire and Flood in Britain's New World of Extremes' makes the argument that things are probably worse than we think... but also that there's more than can be done than we realise. David joins host Niki to discuss his new book, the research behind it and the future that could lie ahead.
