Product Description
Our planet is warming; it's significantly warmer in the 21st century than it was in the last third of the 20th century. Indeed, four of the warmest years on record have occurred in this century. This global warming is being forced by the unabated burning of fossil fuels pouring CO2 into the atmosphere ... And this warming appears to be forcing dramatic regional and worldwide climate shifts. This series takes you through the Science of Global Warming and the Solutions. We need only to trust the science and work together to implement these solutions... solutions we can no longer afford to ignore.
Shot in Hi-Definition this series is presented and narrated by Erick Avari.

Review
This program explains the causes of global warming, its effects, and solutions to reverse the trend. Clearly narrated by actor Erick Avari, the film traces humanity's ecological impact throughout history, focusing primarily on the modern age. Scientists champion different solutions to resolve the problem, including solar power, wind power, ethanol, and hydrogen fuel cells to cut the carbon emissions of today's fossil fuels-but all agree that action must be taken. Current and archival film footage and animated graphs support the concepts presented. Computer animations illustrate the complex concepts of the hydrological, carbon, nitrate, and aerosol cycles, which explain how various pollutants contaminate the ecosystem... this informative program does an excellent job of supporting its position. --School Library Journal
