Six degrees could change the world



A new show on the National Geographic Channel is promoting its new show -- "6° Could Change the World" -- by appealing directly to that part of us that wants to be around to see it happen. The show will attempt to go degree by degree, showing us the destruction that could occur across 5 continents if climate change accelerates. Some might call it sensationalist -- and it's definitely that -- but you can't really blame the producers for giving us exactly what we want.
While, I'm still holding out for the real thing, thank God for the media that will dramatize all of our potential extinctions -- in case we're not around for the real deal.


You know about six degrees of separation. But what about six degrees to extinction?
Scientists predict that global temperatures will rise by between one and six degrees over the course of this century and author Mark Lynas paints a chilling, degree-by- degree picture of the devastation likely to ensue unless we act now.
A new show on National Geographic Channel, "Six Degrees Could Change the World" narrated by Alec Baldwin, investigates the startling
theory that earth average temperature could rise six degrees Celsius by the year 2100.


"Six Degrees Could Change the World" explores the potential impacts of global warming degree-by-degree through six degrees over the next
hundred years. Filmed on five continents, the program tracks the world's top climate researchers and follows ranchers, photographers, and everyday people to uncover climate trends.
Utilizing cutting-edge CGI and hard-hitting scientific data, the HD special will reveal how each potential degree affects us on all levels ?from the bottom of our deepest oceans to the tops of our highest mountains.
