Green In The Media 28th June - 4th July

It looks like last Thursday's listing for Panorama was supposed to be for this week's episode.

Monday 28th June

On: BBC 1
Time: 20:30 to 21:00 (Also BBC News Sun 2030)
What's Up With the Weather?.
Despite governments, scientists and campaigners telling us the world's climate is changing, increasing numbers of us simply don't believe in global warming. Panorama goes back to basics and asks what we really know about our climate and how it will affect us. Tom Heap speaks to some of the world's leading scientists on both sides of the argument, to find out what they can agree on and uncovers some surprising results.

The group walking with her have all opted for a life that's as green as possible, and includes Mary Lewis, who lives with her family in a yurt on the site of the former Naval Signals base where Tim and Maddy Harland run their green publishing company. Joining them is Alan McVittie of the Old Winchester Hill Hampshire Downs Reserve, and for the very end of the trail heading into Winchester, Andy Gatticker of the South Downs National Trail, who met Clare back in Eastbourne at the start of the series.

Sunday 4th July

Countryfile
On: BBC 1
Time: 19:15 to 20:15
John Craven speaks exclusively to Prince Charles about his new scheme to connect shoppers to the countryside, and discovers how it will help rural communities most in need. Adam Henson and Ellie Harrison head for the Howardian Hills in North Yorkshire to find out about a pioneering project to use river water to generate electricity - without harming the fish who live there - and why our graveyards are an unlikely haven for wildlife.

Rain
On: BBC 4
Time: 20:15 to 21:15
Documentary series about the weather. This programme uncovers the true shape of a raindrop, shows how and why rain falls and tells stories of how we have adapted or succumbed to this elemental force of nature, such as James Glaisher's hot-air balloon ascent in 1862. The Victorians believed that they could master the rain, but today climate change threatens us with rain that is wilder and more unpredictable than ever.
