In a special broadcast event, National Geographic explores the startling theory that Earths average temperature could rise six degrees Celsius by the year 2100. In this amazing and insightful documentary, National Geographic illustrates, one poignant degree at a time, the consequences of rising temperatures on Earth. Also, learn how existing technologies and remedies can help in the battle to dial back the global thermometer.

I HAD PREVIOUSLY SEEN THE DOCUMENTARY ON NATL.GEO. CHANNEL ON DIRECTV BUT WANTED MY OWN COPY TO PROVIDE TO FRIENDS & FAMILY
I DON'T BUY THINGS THAT AREN'T GOOD AND WORTHWHILE - I HAD PREVIOUSLY SEEN THE DOCUMENTARY ON DIRECTV - THE NATL.GEO. CHANNEL -

EVERY REPUBLICAN POLITICIAN IN CONGRESS SHOULD BE REQUIRED TO VIEW IT AT LEAST TEN TIMES TO SINK INTO THEIR THICK "MONEY-FIRST" & "PASS-OUR-COSTS-OFF-TO-OTHERS" SKULLS AND TO ABOLISH A CREED OF DOING BUSINESS AS OBSOLETE NEANDERTHALS - WITH NO VISION OF OR CARE ABOUT THE FUTURE OF THE HUMAN RACE.

Very depressing...
Don't just change your light bulbs. Don't just recycle. You have to stop using oil, you have to stop eating hamburgers, you have to stop cutting down trees. Not tomorrow, not next year, right now. The idea is not just to save money, which we would, and also save nature, which we would, but we have to save ourselves. We have to change the way we live. We have to get away from plastics, coal burning, roads, cities, and beef. To just name a few things. In other words, we're pretty much doomed. But Alec Baldwin has a great voice, the packaging is a green-product and the extras really help you save money. Too bad the packaging sucks when it comes to HOLDING the DVD in place but you can't have everything.

Right on the mark.
This documentary was much better than a companion in the same series by National Geographic. It explored a quickly approaching future, a task that sometimes can be daunting when working with climate change. While I'm sure they left many things out of the documentary, because you can't possibly cover every nuance of climate change in an hour and a half, the key points were made about the environmental expectations overall.

In addition, the documentary made the point to make sure the audience knew that the degree in the title is Celsius, but continually converted it to Fahrenheit for continual ease of understanding of myself along with millions of other Americans without the knowledge of the conversion rate from Celsius to Fahrenheit.

I would certainly recommend this documentary to all of those who are wondering how climate change will affect them. Also, to those non-believers, this will wake them up!

Simply excellent
Alarming information, an excellent documentary.

Terrific production value, presents good information, easy to watch. Perfect for schools, families... this impacts us all.

A Must see.

Informational but a little boring
The video has some very good, researched information, but it wasn't as thrilling as Planet Earth. It is still a very good video though and I learned a lot.
