| John Collee - we shouldn't bet the planet at Paris. |

Science – the Large Hadron Collider, the Hubble space telescope – but the
project that most excites me, and the one that would have the greatest impact

those who trust it have made huge fortunes, and those who bet against it have
lost much in the past three or four years.
‘Sceptics will always argue that climate modelling is not
100 per cent accurate but they are missing the point’
A few months ago, at the Cannes Film Festival, I met a group
of six guys in their 30s who want to break into the film business. There were
whip-smart, mostly educated in Australia, with backgrounds in finance. They
wanted to make a blockbuster movie, money no object.
