Your Carbon Briefing

Very exciting to see The Carbon Brief launch this week, the new hub of information on climate science in the media.

Could this end up being our very own version of James Delingpole? Except with, you know, a basic understanding of climate science and without an ego the size of Greenland?

Christian Hunt, formerly of Greenpeace and PIRC, has been one of the driving forces behind Carbon Brief, and anything that Christian puts his energy into is bound to succeed. Who can forget this magical/hilarious adventure…
