Exploration companies scour the world for more oil, that is increasingly difficult to find. Pristine wildernesses are being prized open in order to keep the global energy show on the road. But the latest science tells us that we cannot even afford to burn the fossil fuels that have already been discovered. Fresh from following the oil road across continents, James Marriott tells the inside story of what is happening to oil and asks What if we left the oil in the ground?
Speaker: James Marriott, author, The Oil Road. Chaired by Andrew Simms
