Re-plumbing the Planet

Talk to scientists who are thinking big to cool our warming world. Ideas involving carbon-munching algae and giant sunshades in orbit have been mooted, but can we realistically combat climate change by changing Earth’s capacity to absorb carbon and heat? Have your say.

Read the poem this event has inspired, At midnight the town is electric, by Heidi Williamson, our poet-in-residence.
