Global Warming - the signs and the science -- Caulfield

Published: 20 August2008

Campus The Climate Change and Sustainable Business Project proudly presents the following video presentation:

Global Warming - the signs and the science -- PBS Home Video, 2005.

The program features numerous science experts who review a growing body of evidence of the grave consequences of a changing climate, and explores how individuals, communities and organizations across America are creating new approaches to safeguard future generations.

The documentary also looks at evidence that human activities are provoking an unprecedented era of atmospheric warming and climatic events: more drought, wildfires and flooding; polar melting; more powerful storms; and more variable weather. Tropical diseases are moving north; childhood respiratory illnesses are skyrocketing; and in the last three decades more than 30 diseases new to science have emerged…Global Warming: The Signs and the Science presents a clear, easy-to-understand, factual overview of climate change, and gives a "human face" to this complex phenomenon.”
