Chris Rapley shares his admiration for the quality of the debates and the discussion from the panel. He suggests how, as Director of the Science Museum, the audience's eagerness for geoengineering has given him a mandate to develop that sector in the museum. Rapley explains geoengineering and the growing concern of Climate Change. He stresses the importance of public knowledge; the more informed the public are, the more politicians will research into the problem.
