World - Have Your Say

Lizzie and I were blabbing away on the BBC World Service *for two hours* last night. Was pretty mind-blowing, taking questions from people literally all round the world - Beijing, Kenya, Nigeria, America, UK, Ireland, Hong Kong -  though not sure we were too good at doing the cheesy intros.

Best bit was talking to the Nigerian Environment Minister, who was in a car on the side of the road in Lagos, and who got a bit confused about the difference between climate change and the ozone layer when I asked him how he can justify not stopping the illegal gas flares which waste 2.5 billion dollars worth of gas every year and are the biggest single cause of emissions in all of Africa.
