Six Degrees: Could Change the World (2008)

Synopsis: What's the difference between a 70 and 64 degree day? A jacket, an extra sweater? How about the total and complete annihilation of the planet as we know it? Even as little as a single degree shift... What's the difference between a 70 and 64 degree day? A jacket, an extra sweater? How about the total and complete annihilation of the planet as we know it? Even as little as a single degree shift in the mercury could spell serious trouble for the existence of humankind. At two degrees, weather patterns, radiation absorption, and the ecosystem are affected even further. And from there it gets uglier with each incremental degree in the global thermometer. This program, produced by National Geographic, explores the disastrous results as each digit rises potentially higher. It is, to say the least, a program that will have viewers seriously rethinking the potential disaster of global warming. [More]
