[font=Arial, sans-serif]T BBC2 9.00 – 10.00 pm Five Ways to Save the World – The five ways of the title are a series of silver-bullet solutions to the global warming menace devised by brainstorming scientists. They are jaw-dropping in scale and amount to considerably more than just recycling your empty pinot grigio bottles. The problem is that the statistics are so mind crushingly huge they are next to impossible to assimilate. For instance, one scientist's suggestion for a giant sunshade a million miles from Earth would involve 800,000 separate trips into space to assemble a thing that's 100,000 km wide and made of 16 trillion glass discs. Other solutions include artificial trees (inspired by a school experiment by the scientist's daughter, giant plankton, a sulphur blanket and cloud cover. Who knows whether any are actually feasible. But all the experts are agreed: the global-warming nettle should be grasped now, while still manageable. Says one: “We need a panic buton to stop the damage.”[/font]

As long as I haven't got my snout in birdforum I should be OK,thanks very much for the kind offer.This is one programme/series I'm determined not to miss LOL

Thank you Everybody,

It is nice to know the diary is used and appreciated, although there are some of us who still forget some of the programmes.

On our local news tonight they had 5 of the BBC nestboxes with cameras inside to give away to people who send in the best reasons for why they should have one, I guess one of the best reasons will be the most chosen sites to nest, sorry don't know how else to put that but I have no chance, nowhere high enough to put a box up. Anyone in the BBC North West Tonight region, get writing in who knows you may become stars if the BBC choose to include you in their programmes, they did not mention that but I am keeping my fingers crossed.

Ann :flowers: B :)
