Mars has fascinated us ever since we first looked up to the heavens. We have imagined alien civilisations, exotic life forms and even dreamed of travelling there ourselves. But after the first probes flew past the Red Planet, and with each subsequent mission that has orbited or landed on its surface, that vision has changed. We have come to realise that the planet is, most likely, dead. But that hasn’t dimmed our hopes for finding evidence of past life.

Professors Iain Stewart and Kathy Sykes take a timely look at global warming ahead of the Copenhagen summit, in this film which explores the world's leading climate scientists' vision of the planet's future.

The programme also explores various technologies being devised to offer solutions for a sustainable future.
