    [OVERSHOOT] Part 2: Carbon Suckers

    Who’s going to clean up the mess? Dangerous amounts of carbon have been dumped in the atmosphere - so someone has to clean up the mess. Enter the dream - or delusion - of sucking carbon out of the sky. We trace how a backup plan for tackling climate change became plan A, why fossil fuel companies love it, and the staggering scale of the carbon sucking that must now be done - and whether it can even work. *** OVERSHOOT is a new four-part audio documentary hosted by climate researcher and policy advisor Laurie Laybourn.

    [OVERSHOOT] Part 1: Uncharted Territory

    If the world didn’t win, then has it lost?  The world is overshooting 1.5°C, a level of global heating long seen as the marker of climate safety. But does that mean we’re doomed? In this opening episode, we hear the extraordinary story of how the 1.5°C goal was set, and how it shapes the ways we think about climate change. We learn why some people are now turning to fatalism and what it might really mean to navigate a truly global climate crisis. *** OVERSHOOT is a new four-part audio documentary hosted by climate researcher and policy advisor Laurie Laybourn.

    Overshoot: Navigating a world beyond 1.5°C – trailer

    The world missed its goal for tackling climate change. What happens next?  In 2015, the world agreed to limit global heating to 1.5°C. Ten years later, temperatures are spiralling beyond this and climate chaos is wreaking havoc across the globe.  In a major four-part series, host Laurie Laybourn explores how the world ended up here and uncovers the huge misconceptions and the high-tech fantasies that hold us back. And we meet people with the ideas to navigate what comes next, from protesting pensioners to climate negotiators, Pacific islanders to pre-eminent scientists. Coming soon. Listen from Monday 6th October.  *** OVERSHOOT is a new four-part audio documentary hosted by climate researcher and policy advisor Laurie Laybourn.
