How do we buy ourselves some time to save our planet? Humans are responsible for the immense damage inflicted on our planet since the Industrial Revolution, but now we have the chance to do some good and repair the climate. Hannah and Rob discuss the power of human ingenuity and ambition with Founder of the Centre for Climate Repair at Cambridge University, Professor Sir David King. His work finding ambitious solutions to the climate crisis can sound almost unreal. Making clouds brighter to reflect more sunlight? Refreezing the arctic? Using whale poo to regenerate the ocean’s biodiversity to store more carbon? He joins Hannah and Rob explore these solutions and more in this week’s episode.
