I hate to break it to you, but if we're going to keep this world even vaguely liveable, we not only need to stop pumping carbon into the atmosphere (though we should definitely do that), we're going to need to suck it back out.

We explore how, with 'the grandfather' of negative emissions solutions to climate change, Professor Klaus Lackner!

Listener, have you had the best years of your life - or are your best years still ahead of you?

Sure, our language learning peak (when we were 7 or 8) or our strength peak (25) might be behind many of us, but it turns out no matter what age you are, there's still good things to come... For many of us, we're still going to get better at arithmetic!

Want to know when you're going to peak? We explore!

I hate to break it to you, but in the world of science and research there are some... bad apples. Folk who'll bend the rules to get ahead, get their research out there, make a stellar career.

Well, some of them get caught - and we investigate those villains out there giving good hard working academics a bad name!

Just wondering: at the end of your long glorious life, would you store your brain in a freezer with the hope of being thawed out - or uploaded to the cloud - in future centuries?

Well we've explored the science... and this weird world is getting closer!
