Global Warming - The Signs and the Science
Content:
Over the last million years there have been countless successive ice ages and warming periods. So what's different now? The answer is: for the first time in Earth's history there are humans, and we are making a natural situation worse. Human activities are provoking an unprecedented era of atmospheric warming and climatic change. We're seeing more drought, wildfires, more flooding, bigger storms and more variable weather. Tropical diseases are moving north, childhood respiratory illness is skyrocketing, and in the last three decades over 30 diseases new to science have emerged. "Global Warming - The Signs and the Science" takes viewers across America to meet people from every walk of life ... their words and stories uncover the reality of climate change. And we'll meet fascinating scientists, working at the edge of climate science. Their latest findings are unsettling ... and indisputable. Because global warming is much more than "just the heat." As we start to face our vulnerability to a changing climate- people across the USA and around the world have decided to do something. They are determined to be part of the solution to this issue, and have launched all kinds of initiatives aimed at reducing the impacts of climate change. [Cover]
