Numbers of the year: Part two
Our listeners' favourite numbers of 2024. Did we break the Paris agreement, and is the German economy run by fax?
We asked and you responded. This edition of ‘numbers of the year’ are from you, our loyal listeners. We scoured the inboxes to find three fascinating numbers that say something about the world we live in now and put them to our experts.
Tune if you want to hear about rising global temperatures, what Taylor Swift has in common with 65 years olds and facts about fax (machines).
