Product Description

Deadly flooding in Africa. Catastrophic hurricanes in the U.S. Record-high temperatures worldwide. Are these natural, temporary glitches in our global climate, or is the devastation the result of global warming? The weather is different now -- but why?

Find out when NOVA and FRONTLINE join forces to determine What’s Up with the Weather? Man-made carbon dioxide has overloaded the earth’s atmosphere. With demand for fossil fuels increasing daily, experts predict emission levels will triple in the next 100 years. But the greenhouse effect remains the subject of heated debate among scientists, climatologists, and futurists. Some believe the earth’s temperature will rise by nearly 10 degrees, melting arctic ice caps and, paradoxically, bringing about a new Ice Age. Others believe the weather will stay relatively normal. Who’s right? Decide for yourself as this riveting two-hour special gives you the fascinating -- and occasionally frightening -- forecast for the future.

2.0 out of 5 stars Outdated, October 8, 2007

By	Science Teacher "Science Teacher" (Stockbridge, GA USA) - See all my reviews

This video originally released in 2000 is outdated and has modified its title to add the global warming line. The science, while good, leaves questions where we now have answers. I would have recommended this 7 years ago, I cannot do that now.

5.0 out of 5 stars A superb, well-rounded and balanced coverage of a serious hot-button environmental issue., June 9, 2007

By	Midwest Book Review (Oregon, WI USA) - See all my reviews

Global Warming: What's Up With The Weather? is a DVD presentation of the television special by NOVA and Frontline dealing with questions raised about modern climate change. In an era when demand for fossil fuels is increasing daily, more man-made carbon dioxide emissions have been added to the atmosphere than ever before. Scientists, climatologists, and futurists debate fiercely about what this means for the Earth - will its average temperature rise by nearly 10 degrees, melt arctic ice caps, or even bring about a new Ice Age in a stroke of irony? Or will the weather stay relatively normal? In addition to the in-depth forecasts for the future, Global Warming also includes printable materials for educators. A superb, well-rounded and balanced coverage of a serious hot-button environmental issue. 112 minutes, color, closed captioned.
