Video interview with Lord Puttnam on Climate Change

Here's an interesting interview with Lord Puttnam, entirely focussed on the issues surrounding Climate Change (in 2007 Lord Puttnam chaired the Joint Parliamentary Committee on the Draft Climate Change Bill). Amongst other things, he talks about Heathrow airport expansion, activism, community involvement in climate change, taking a war-like attitude to fixing climate change, how to speak to government, the role of the media, personal carbon credits, urgency of the problem, educating young people, the credit crisis, fear of the daily mail and lots of other interesting topics!

The interview was filmed on Monday 23.03.09 for a seminar held on Tuesday at the London School of Economics on "Energy and Climate Change: The Contribution of Complexity Science.
