Science Weekly: Why do we still disagree about climate change?

What is it about the science and politics of climate change that so raises some people's hackles? Mike Hulme, a climate scientist and author at the University of East Anglia and a founding director of the Tyndall Centre for Climate Change Research, is proposing a radical change in the way we talk about global warming.

His latest book is Why We Disagree About Climate Change: Understanding Controversy, Inaction and Opportunity.

All that plus a male contraceptive injection, this month's Science Book Club title – The Age of Wonder by Richard Holmes – the bizarre research ideas that could improve our health, and why cancer patients should avoid extreme diets.

Don't keep your opinions to yourself, post them below. We always air a selection on the following week's show.
