Inside the planet’s most urgent climate warning | Global Warning E1 | Featured Documentary
This decisive decade demands unprecedented action to address humanity’s greatest challenge. With global access, this three-part series examines the real consequences of climate change for our civilisation, through the rest of the 21st century and beyond.
Irish journalist Philip Boucher-Hayes visits climate hotspots, from Greenland’s melting glaciers to sub-Saharan Africa’s weather extremes, from the flooding of agricultural land in Bangladesh to the thaw of the Siberian permafrost. He meets experts and witnesses who explain the interconnectivity of the world’s fragile ecology, as we reach tipping points from which there may be no return.
The series looks at new climate science and faces the harsh realities of a changing world - collapsing ecosystems, marine die-offs and escalating extreme weather phenomena. But it also explores a positive vision for reimagining economies, landscapes and infrastructure - and practical solutions, ways of mobilising collective resolve, and challenging humanity to become a transformative force, harnessing innovation to safeguard the future of civilisation.
Episode 1, Into the Storm, highlights the immediate and escalating effects of climate change. It opens in Ireland, where extreme weather events are becoming increasingly common. In Greenland, it explores the rapid melting of the ice sheet, with potentially devastating consequences - rising sea levels and disruptions to the Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation (AMOC), the main ocean current system in the Atlantic Ocean. It also touches on the effects of climate change in Malawi and Siberia, a grim picture of widespread damage.

NEW RESEARCH - Our planet is warming TWICE as fast as we thought!
Planet earth has been warming at a rate of about 0.2 degrees Celsius per decade since the 1970's. Recent record warm years have suggested that rate of change may have shifted in a very unwelcome direction. Now two highly experienced and respected climate analysts have rigorously interrogated that theory. And their conclusion is deeply concerning.

Climate Scientist Michael Mann on Deadly Heat Domes Around the World
A heat wave is raising temperatures to dangerous levels across much of Europe, just days after a heat wave in North America saw over 3,000 temperature records set. For more, we speak with climate scientist Michael Mann, who warns that heat domes and flooding have nearly tripled since the 1950s. "At some level, this isn't that complicated. You make the planet hotter, you're going to have more frequent and intense heat extremes," says Mann, a professor of environmental science at the University of Pennsylvania. Mann's upcoming book, co-authored with vaccine expert Dr. Peter Hotez, is "Science Under Siege: How to Fight the Five Most Powerful Forces That Threaten Our World."
