The efforts of Climate Outreach and Climate Outreach Europe are entirely focused on the public benefit and trustees don’t receive any remuneration. Ever since I was a young teenager I have been deeply worried about the way we have shaped our world.’‘I am pleased to see that children across the world […] are now raising the alarm and calling for big changes to happen," wrote the former Prince of Wales. "Their efforts have emphasised the importance of caring about what life will be like in the future – there is a lesson in this for us all." The editor, Audrey Daly travelled to London to meet the royal photographer, John Scott, just the evening before the wedding and he arranged for the photographs from 30 different photographers to be supplied to the company. The ide a for the book – the first in a new series of Ladybird Expert Books for adults – emerged after Prince Charles returned from the Paris Climate Change Summit of 2015 and discussed the issue with his friend and former equerry, Sir Nicholas Soames, MP.

One popular meme of a two-dimensional snowman created by laying a carrot nose and two twig arms on to two puddles is the sum total of the snowmen my children have witnessed during their five years on this warming planet. So who were the target audience for the Ladybird book? Judging by the media coverage, the royalist/centre-right press took a significant interest. From the Telegraph to Mail on Sunday, there was sensible coverage, including an article in The Sun that discussed the book in the context of recent flooding events in the UK. There were a few obligatory snide comments about the prince’s penchant for expressing his political opinions, but broadly speaking the press coverage was positive. So the authors clearly got the tone – and the visual narrative – about right in this respect. Ladybird books on ‘logic’, ‘honesty’ and ‘how to answer a question’ should be compulsory reading for MPs.” Can someone please send a copy to Mr D. Trump or perhaps he doesnt have a sufficient compliment of vocabulary to understand it !

It an excellent idea. Then and only then can we send it to politicians and and expect them to read it and understand something. Other royal weddings were later accompanied by a similar book, including the wedding of Prince Andrew and Sarah Ferguson in 1986. I hope people find the book presents the evidence in an accessible way that enables readers to come to their own conclusions regarding the causes and consequences of climate change, as well as the scale and urgency of the challenge it poses. The Ladybird Expert Book on Climate Change will be available from 26 January 2017, alongside volumes about quantum mechanics and evolution.

A recent Ladybird book on climate change achieved something few books on climate change do: it got read (or at least bought) by large numbers of people. We humans may be hopeless at acting in our long-term interests over climate change, but our ingenuity can be boundless when desperate. Take HMP Channings Wood, in Devon, where staff have reportedly had to ban sugar and fruit used by inmates to brew homemade booze after smoking was banned. For a scientist awarded an OBE in 2016 for services to science and the public communication of science, co-authoring a lay guide to climate change – and for such an iconic book brand – was too good an opportunity to miss.
