Nature editor Olive Heffernan reports on the organizational disaster that has left hundreds of registered delegates excluded from the UN negotiations on climate change. As talks on a climate deal heated up at the Bella Centre in Copenhagen, over capacity left many stranded for hours outside in the cold as they awaited a decision from UN Officials.

In December, policy makers will meet in Copenhagen, Denmark to thrash out a new global deal on climate change. The aim is to limit global warming to two degrees Celsius above pre-industrial temperatures. We sent three young climate researchers along with Nature's Olive Heffernan to find out just how much of a challenge this ambitious target will be. Join them as they seek advice from climate experts including the IPCC's Rajendra Pachauri, challenge the sceptical views of political scientist Bjørn Lomborg, and learn lessons from the Nobel Laureates who showed that CFCs were destroying the ozone layer.

This short film was made at the 2009 Lindau Meeting of Nobel Laureates in Germany.
