We speak with physicist and professor, Myles Allen who is the principal investigator of a major new study conducted by the ClimatePrediction.net project that warns the effects of global warming may be twice as bad as previously thought.

In Britain, few issues have been covered by the press this past week as much as global warming. On Thursday the Independent ran an article titled "Global Warming is Twice as Bad as Previously Thought."

That same day the Guardian ran reports of how the US oil industry is funding lobbying groups to fight the British government on global warming. British Prime Minister Tony Blair made headlines when he called on the United States to take a leading role in tackling global warming.
The Independent also reported this week that global warming has caused Mt. Everest to shrink by about four feet. Earlier in the week the Guardian ran an article titled "Global warming near the point of no return."
