But how much of our recent unpredictable weather can be blamed on the greenhouse effect? Will the oceans help to reduce global warming - or might they actually speed it up? How would we all be affected by a proposed global plan of action intended to stabilise the world's climate again by the year 2050?
With Judith Hann, Howard Stableford, Peter Macann and Kate Bellingham.
