| Notes | It's in the media every day. It's blamed for everything from floods to droughts. Yet, despite all the hype, global warming is still highly controversial. There are governments who appear not to believe it is a threat at all. Some scientists believe the last 150 years have seen a sudden and dramatic increase in temperature, unheard of since the end of the Ice Age. Others say that's simply bad science. There's little agreement on what will happen next.
Presenter Paul Rose, who has spent much of the past 10 years organising expeditions to examine global warming, looks at the issues. Will it get only a few degrees warmer over the next century or is the present situation a precursor to runaway global warming and devastating consequences? Examining all sides of the argument, this compelling film seeks the truth behind what has become the most talked about environmental issue in history. |
