Our planet is warming up thanks to increased man-made greenhouse gas emissions. That is now the internationally accepted scientific consensus. But what to do about it? Professor Wallace Broecker has been called the grandfather of climate science. After decades of pioneering research he has no doubt of the dangers of global warming and yet he's optimistic that it can be fixed. Stephen Sackur asks him why.
