Global Meltdown? The Most Optimistic View of Earth You Will Have Heard in a Long Time!

A Global Sustainability Journey
What's really going on with our climate, and what's it going to mean for the future? The climate has changed in the past. Are the changes we’re seeing now part of a natural cycle, or are they something we’ve brought upon ourselves? And what can Viking voyages, the freezing of the Thames and ancient Bronze Age settlements on Dartmoor tell us about how our climate is changing?

• Can we drastically slow down the human effects on our climate and made sensible, sustainable adaptations to the changes that are happening now?
  
• Can we reduce our rate of population growth to sustainable levels?
  
• Can we protect our ecosystems and biodiversity?

I am very optimistic about our future and true global sustainability. Many of us now have the will and technology to protect our ecosystems and improve the way we all live.

It's an awesome repsonsibility and we can do it. But there is a lot of work to do!

Partly based on Meltdown, the keynote BBC climate change programme that Paul presents.

Ordinary People - Extraordinary Lives

What is the secret behind people who seem to have such extraordinary lives? How can you keep going when it looks impossible?

Paul takes the audience on an enthusiastic and fun journey of discovery. Paul's recent sell-out talk on this subject for the Royal Humane Society raised over £15,000 for RHS.

Oceans

Paul was the Expedition Leader and Co-Presenter of the highly acclaimed BBC series, Oceans. The Oceans talks include fabulous images and film. The informative and fun behind the scenes stories of the BBC Oceans expeditions and adventures are the backdrop for Paul's enthusiasm of diving and love of our world's seas. 

Voyages of Discovery

Pioneering journeys that have changed our lives

Based on  Paul's BBC series, Voyages of Discovery;
Rugged Adventurer Paul Rose tells five stories of adventure on the high seas. These are the dramatic tales of men who set sail into the unknown and made scientific discoveries that changed our world forever. Paul travels to the other side of the world on the trail of great adventurers like Ferdinand Magellan and Captain James Cook. But his journey also takes him from the heat of the Ecuadorian jungle to the frozen wastes of the north as he reveals the incredible stories of lesser known explorers whose discoveries changed all our lives, even today. The five programmes featured in the series are

• Circumnavigation which tells the story of Magellan and the first circumnavigation of the globe;
• The Ice King which tells the story of Norwegian Fridjof Nansen the founding father of polar exploration and the first man to set foot on the North Pole;
• Hanging by a Thread recounts how the first ever successful rescue of men from a stricken submarine came about under the command of maverick genius Commander Charles ‘Swede’ Momsen;
• The Figure of the Earth is the incredible story of an 18th century mission to measure the curvature of the earth near the equator – a story containing murder and adultery as well as pioneering scientific achievement.
• The Making of Captain Cook tells the story of the expedition that made the name of arguably the most famous explorer and the voyage to find the mythical southern continent which ‘balanced’ the earth.
  

Antarctica

From Sled Dogs to Rockets! Living and working in the Antarctic
Antarctica is the “white laboratory” and is home to world-class scientists. But how is the science supported? How do they do it? What is it like to dive under the sea ice? Why does a drum of aircraft fuel cost over $10,000? What exactly are the scientists, cooks, plumbers, carpenters, pilots, doctors, mechanics, dentists, divers & polar guides all doing down there? ( Paul presented this lecture to full-houses at the Royal Society and the Royal Geographical Society as part of International Polar Year ).

Television

Without the Safety Net! Undiscovered Britain
Why did the Oxford University Museum keep a hippopotamus on their roof? Why were the escape hatches on submarines welded shut? Uncover the secrets behind Churchill’s false teeth! Can you launch a pigeon from a submarine? Why are parts of the WW1 German naval fleet orbiting above the earth right now? Based on the BBC series, Take One Museum, which Paul presents.

Cold Expeditions! Greenland

Icecap crossings, climbing unknown mountains, science
The icecap crossing is a 540 km ski journey that takes 30 days of pulling massive loads, there is no support, it’s cold & there is never enough food. It’s almost impossible. Why do it? And if that’s not enough - climb the highest mountain in the Arctic by a new route. But it’s not all fun – what about ice mining on the west coast of Greenland?

Camels, Mines, Guns and Bad Food!

The lighter side of remote field work
Oil prospect teams in Pakistan and the Middle East, science projects in the tropics and Polar Regions count on smooth running logistics – but it doesn’t always happen! How can you search for oil in a minefield? Swap helicopters for camels? What happens when aircraft stop flying and penguins start flying?

Exploring and Risk Taking

Paul presents this series onboard the Queen Mary 2 Transatlantic Voyages.

This programme examines field science studies, expeditions and even museum collections to celebrate our never-ending thirst for new discoveries.
