ding parachutes, armored tanks, hang gliders, and robots. On the 500th anniversary of Leonardo’s death, with the help of biographer Walter Isaacson, NOVA investigates the secrets of Leonardo’s success. How did his scientific curiosity, from dissections of cadavers to studies of optics, shape his genius and help him create perhaps the most famous painting of all time, the "Mona Lisa"?

d gas industry. “I think they feel that they must pay a little bit back from all the income from the oil and gas industry.”
The £1.5bn Norway’s government is lavishing on carbon capture and storage certainly shows up the weak support offered by the UK to its own carbon capture projects, Net Zero Teesside and Zero Carbon Humber, both of which include the three Northern Lights partners.
While construction has already started on Norway’s Longship project, these projects are unlikely to get the commercial go ahead until 2023 at the earliest, even if the UK Government offers financial support.
But Mrs Sundset argues that Longship will only count as a success if the UK, and others, follow suit.
“Norway is not just doing this for Norway. We’re doing this to help Europe to establish carbon capture and storage,” she says. “We won’t have succeeded if we don’t see other projects following us. Because we’re not going to save the planet with Longship alone.”…
ubsidies were essential.
“Yes, two-thirds of the funding is from the government, and that’s significant. But if you turn it around, for industry to pay one third is also significant,” she says.
Norway’s so-called ‘Moon Landing’, its ill-fated attempt to set up carbon capture at a gas power plant at the Mongstad refinery, which was shelved in 2013, had been 100pc state-funded.
The culmination of 7.4bn kroner of government spending on carbon capture and storage, Mongstad CCS was at the time seen as a catastrophic failure. But Ms Sundset argues that the infrastructure built and experience gained has been crucial for the success of Longship. As part of the project, Norway built the world’s biggest test centre for carbon capture technologies, helping develop the capture technology which is being used by HeidelbergCement.
“We think of these as learning points: Why didn’t it work? What can we learn from it? And then we constructed a new project, which was better,” she says.

aders are truly committed to keeping 1.5 degrees of global warming within reach and ditching our reliance on fossil fuels. These are worrying times but joining COP26 in Glasgow with Soil Association colleagues was a joyous experience. The crowds, which included many young people, that gathered across the globe demonstrated there is a vigorous movement who care about leaving a healthy planet for future generations.
We must now see action, implementation, and genuine leadership from the UK to close the gap between rhetoric and policies. Read on to hear our take of the COP and how we’ve been involved.
