Professor Arnell heads the Walker Institute for Climate System research at the University of Reading. In this programme he discusses the planet’s changing weather patterns – rising temperatures, altered rainfall patterns – and looks at the prospects for the future. By comparing data from the past Professor Arnell argues that we can make some tentative predictions about the future and that the increase in energy around the surface of the earth – a consequence of greenhouse gases – is something that needs a response.
