Pete Postlethwaite (the only fictional character) stars as an archivist living alone in the devastated future world of 2055, who spends his days looking at old footage from the years leading up to 2015 when a cataclysmic climate change took place. As he sifts through the relics of our lost and misguided civilization, the archivist asks why Earth's inhabitants did nothing to reverse the effects of climate change while they still had the chance.

This volume transports viewers to the remote reaches of the planet where investigators are struggling to identify connections among some of the most bizarre environmental mysteries of our day. Surprisingly, the diverse phenomena appear to be connected by a common cause: changes to the Earth's water system. Helps give a better understanding to rivers, streams and oceans.

A volcanic eruption causes a glacier to cover North America, and a family tries to flee to safety.

Explores the effect of climate change on the polar ice caps and the animals that live in the Arctic environment.

This program follows El Niño's deadly path through human history and the progress science has made in understanding the phenomenon. The effects of El Niño are presented in detail, including an 1878 outbreak of yellow fever in Tennessee, a concurrent drought that ravaged much of China, and more recent calamities that have brought the true nature of this climatic occurrence to light. Focusing on high-tech advances in meteorology, the vidoe outlines...

After an unprecedented series of natural disasters threatened the planet, the world's leaders came together to create an intricate network of satellites to control the global climate and keep everyone safe. But now, something has gone wrong. The system built to protect the Earth is attacking it, and it's a race against the clock to uncover the real threat before a worldwide geostorm wipes out everything.

"This film offers a wealth of scientific evidence for dire climate-change predictions--but it also shows how businesses, local governments, and citizens can take positive action to reduce future dangers. With in-depth discussions of what may lie ahead, including increases in storm surges, hurricanes, water pollution, forest fires, and epidemics, the program promotes the urgently needed use of alternative energy sources, such as biodiesel, clean-burning...

Features some of the world's foremost polar scientists as they show how warmer temperatures are affecting the speed of melting polar ice, and how it is changing polar ecosystems.
