Burn Up - new drama on BBC

This last week there has been an exceptional drama series on BBC 2 shown in the U.K.  http://www.bbc.co.uk/drama/burnup/  

 

Although a drama and a work of fiction the information imparted throughout the drama about climate change and the effects it is having was very good.  Also relating to what goes on between governments at the big climate change conferences.  The arm twisting and the pressure put on by varies countries and the oil companies.  It all rang very true.  Even the Guardian newspaper says

"Viewers who have never seen climate negotiations at work might find the notion of a roomful of oil-coal-lobbyists plotting the subversion of a multilateral negotiating process involving over a hundred sovereign governments far-fetched. It isn't."
