Dr Marc Beurskens at the nuclear fusion research facility at JET explains how nuclear fusion may play a key role in helping us deal with climate change. Alom Shaha visits the British Antarctic survey and shows how science helped save us from the harmful effects of a hole in the ozone layer. Part of a 30 minute film called "Why is Science Important?"

the more i follow the debates about the energy issue and the different solutions that are offered
the more obvious it seems that nuclear fusion is the only way to go
how else could we possibly have a sustainable source of energy for our growing world population and alleviate international poverty in the process?

i'm thoroughly enjoying the documentary and this is not my way of knocking it but
it seems to me that the argument used in this part is a bit weak
yes, science helps us discover the problems so that we can solve them
but we wouldn't have these problems if we hadn't used science to create their causes (the air con, fridges, styrofoam, etc) to begin with
