Special guest on this week's show is Dr James Hansen, director of NASA's Goddard Institute of Space Studies and perhaps the best-known climate scientist in the world — the man who put the 350 in 350.org and a forceful advocate for leaving coal in the ground. We caught up with him during his recent NZ tour, and grabbed an interview during his whirlwind visit to Canterbury University (thanks Bronnie!). John Cook's back from the tour launching his new book Climate Denial: Heads In The Sand, and talks about his experiences on the road as well as debunking the "CO2 lags warming" myth. Plus the Australian Climate Commission's new report, The Critical Decade, Britain's ambitious new carbon targets, and a couple of new solar power initiatives.
