By the year
2100, many
scientists
believe that the
Earth's average
temperature
could rise by as
much as six
degrees Celsius.
In a compelling
investigation,
National
Geographic leads
a
degree-by-degree
journey to
explore what
each rising—and
critical—degree
could mean for
the future of
our people and
planet.
Through powerful
filmmaking and
intimate
profiles, this
special
illustrates how
global warming
has already
affected the
reefs of
Australia, the
ice fields of
Greenland, and
the Amazonian
rain forest.
With a sobering
look at the
effects of our
world's
insatiable
appetite for
energy, Six
Degrees Could
Change the World
explains what's
real, what's
still
controversial,
and how existing
technologies and
remedies could
help dial back
the global
thermometer.
