      Ohhh this a a tough one. I would probably say James P as i like his idea of explaining what a climate model is to the public. Its important for people to understand where all the facts and figures they hear about climate change come from, although i don’t actually think you could do what he wants on the budget we get so he would probably have to get some more money from elsewhere too.

      I don’t know Ben, that’s your decision to make. By my reckoning James P has probably answered the most questions, but Davie is clearly the coolest……

      Hi ben1234,

      A really tough question, because I’m sure deep down we all want to win, but speaking for myself I have been massively impressed by both the questions that you guys have been asking and also how everyone has been answering them!

      I would vote for Nuala, because the work she is doing is so vitally important, how sea ice will respond to a warming world is really important to understand as it will affect the response of the Earth to climate change and this will impact on how bad climate change is.

      Thank you very much Nuala for saying you’d vote for me! As Nuala says, I’d need to raise some more money to really develop my idea fully, and I would hope to raise this from my University and from the Met Office and some green charities.
