One poignant degree at a time, the consequences of rising temperatures on Greenland’s ice sheet and Himalayan glaciers, tropical coral reefs and the Amazon rainforest, and elsewhere across five continents are illustrated. In addition, some of the world’s top climate researchers present existing technologies and remedies that can help in the battle to cool off the global thermometer. An alarming preview of a potentially catastrophic future—and a global call to action! A National Geographic Production. (96 minutes). A National Geographic Production.
