Mark Lynas, environmental journalist and writer. Author of "Six degrees: our future on a hotter planet."

Produced a brilliant TV series on the National Geographic Channel on the consequences of global warming.

The series looked at the effect of one, two, three, four, five and finally six degrees of warming.

Six degrees is the most extreme Doomsday Scenario and is unlikely. But three or four degrees is a frightening possibility before the end of the century unless we take action.
