Quentin Cooper on sudden climate change, happy faces, a beacon from the early universe and how mobile phones affect behaviour.

Quentin Cooper presents his weekly digest of science in and behind the headlines. This week: how climate models may be underestimating the severity of sudden climate change; how our interest in happy faces is in our genes; how the most distant quasar ever seen throws light on the early universe and how mobile phones are transforming our behaviour and revealing social and cultural differences.

Producer: Martin Redfern.
