About this item
| Description: | We still need fossil fuels, but recent studies of the geological record show that we cannot burn with impunity the remaining supplies of coal, gas and oil, releasing the CO2. Join geologist Dr Bryan Lovell to learn why you can’t argue with a rock, but you can ask the oil barons to become prospective environmental saviours rather than villains. |
