In Climate Change: Permafrost and Release of Methane and Carbon, discover the science behind permafrost and its crucial role in the global climate system. Permafrost, the frozen ground found primarily in the Arctic, has acted as a natural storage system for carbon and methane gases for thousands of years. These gases, which were once trapped beneath the surface, are released as the permafrost thaws due to rising global temperatures. This video is excerpted from BBC’s Climate Change — The Facts, a documentary that delves into the science of climate change and its far-reaching consequences.
In Coral Bleaching, witness the effects of global warming on coral ecosystems. The world’s oceans are warming due to climate change, which negatively affects coral reefs, home to about a quarter of all ocean life. Coral is highly sensitive to temperature changes, and as ocean temperatures rise, coral bleaching becomes more extreme. This video is excerpted from BBC’s Climate Change — The Facts, a documentary that delves into the science of climate change and its far-reaching consequences.
In Climate Change in Politics and Injustices, learn about the political, technological, and financial barriers to effectively addressing climate change. For decades, scientists have been aware of the dangers posed by greenhouse gases, but the challenge of tackling climate change has been compounded by misinformation, political obstacles, and a lack of global action. This video is excerpted from BBC’s Climate Change — The Facts, a documentary that delves into the science of climate change and its far-reaching consequences.
In Understanding Carbon Footprints: How Our Food Choices Impact the Planet, host Harith Iskander explores how foods contribute to global warming. Each stage of food production — from farming to packaging and delivery — uses energy and releases gases that affect the climate. Learn how different types of food, such as meats and vegetables, have different impacts on the environment and discover ways we can make more eco-friendly choices. This video is excerpted from BBC’s Got Science?, a science magazine series that explores and explains science in everyday life.
In Climate Change and the Production of Rice, see how increasing global temperatures have contributed to climate change, which has been detrimental to agriculture, particularly rice production. Billions of people rely on rice as a primary food and source of income, but it is increasingly threatened by crop failure, unpredictable weather events, and a decrease in its nutritional value. This video is excerpted from BBC’s Climate Change — The Facts, a documentary that delves into the science of climate change and its far-reaching consequences.
In Vanishing Places: The Disappearing World, host Harith Iskander explains how physical features around the world, such as the melting snow on Mount Kilimanjaro, the sinking of Mexico City, and the potential disappearance of the Dead Sea, are changing over time. Learn how natural and human-made factors contribute to the transformation of the Earth's physical landscape.
