- Summary:
- A report on the harmful effects of climate change on the world's ecosystem, and the need for increased regulatory environmental policy. While scientists say that the effects can be slowed, they fear the deadline is quickly approaching for a major shift in the global approach to the problem. The world's ecosystems, and communities, have already suffered irreversible damage, which has been contributed to by man-made emissions. Includes interviews with Reed Rankin, former chief of Volunteer Fire Station 61; Thom Porter, California State Fire Chief; James Hansen, who runs the program on climate science at Columbia University and is the former director of NASA's Goddard Institute for Space Studies; Michael Mann, a geophysicist who is director of the Earth System Science Center at Penn State and a member of the National Academy of Sciences; and Wade Crowfoot, head of California's Natural Resources Agency.
