Radical lawyer and advocate Polly Higgins and eminent diplomat and government advisor Crispin Tickell face off against journalist and former Chancellor of the Exchequer Nigel Lawson and sceptical environmentist and one of Time Magazine’s 100 Most Influential People, Bjorn Lomborg.  Earlybird price: Sold Out Advance price: £9.00 Full-price: £14.00
