King Cnut travelled by pedal power down to the River Thames at Westminster.

At Westminster, on July 9th, he sought to hold back the rising waters as he tried, but failed, to do 1000 years ago.

Meanwhile, on an island in Italy, the G8 leaders meet to make decisions which will shape the future of our planet.

Sea level rise taught King Cnut the limits of human power over the natural world.

Will the G8 learn from Cnut and recognise that halting climate change means accepting limits?

• Limits to human power
• Limits to economic growth
• Limits to consumption
• Limits to carbon emissions
