A few weeks ago I was listening to Radio 4’s The World Tonight as I did the washing up.

The hairs on the back of my neck started to prickle as I listened to reports of extreme weather lashing the globe from Alaska to Antarctica, from Austria to Australia.
That night, as I tried to sleep on the living room floor with my two-year-old son to alleviate the record-breaking heat upstairs, I felt both genuinely worried and angry – for him.
After decades of warnings from scientists, the climate has reached a tipping point and the world will never be the same. Our children are the ones who must live with it.
