Sarah Snook talks to scientists on the subject of carbon
What's the correct story – is Carbon good or bad for the environment and us? Well, there are those who are in favour of carbon and those against it!

On one side of the coin, carbon is in carbon dioxide, which is a greenhouse gas that traps heat close to the Earth while helping the Earth to hold the energy it receives from the Sun. If it were not for carbon dioxide, all the Earth's oceans would be frozen solid.

On the other side, there are those who believe that the carbon footprint has a negative impact on our environment, in that it is the main problem causing climate change, air pollution, melting of glaciers, polar ice and much more. So, who is right?

On Tuesday evening 12th July 2022 at 8.30 pm, ABC TV and ABC iview will be broadcasting - Carbon: The Unauthorised Biography, which will be narrated in the first person by Golden Globe winner, Sarah Snook (Succession) and accompanied by celebrated scientists Neil deGrasse Tyson and Katharine Hayhoe.

This informative documentary will tell the story of carbon, which is the most talked about but least understood element on Earth. Carbon is us, it is part of the air and ground, in plants and animals; it makes coal and diamonds but are we using it correctly?

If you would like to get a taste of what the documentary is all about, go to YouTube for a surprising and thought-provoking brief on the story of the element that builds life, but may also end it.
