The Icelandic volcano caused major disruption, but nothing compared to a supervolcanic eruption. Is it possible to plan for such a catastrophe or do we just accept our fate?
We all know that stormy weather can damage property, blow down trees, or bring devastating floods. But this week one listener wants to know whether an Atlantic storm could have been responsible for a leak in a central heating system?
We review the many sightings of waxwings you've sent in from around the country. Discuss the best way of classifying birds and ask what can be done to prepare for the catastrophic eruption of a supervolcano.
And the programme kicks off with a graphic encounter between a crow and a rabbit.
On the panel today are science writer Dr Jo Baker; Professor Philip Stott an environmental scientist from the University of London, and conservationist Derek Moore.
