Climate's First Orphans

Eleanora Images, India

Image  Climate's First Orphans is about the little-reported phenomena of the sea-level rise and its impacts in the villages of Orissa, India. In Orissa’s Kendrapara district, 25 villages exist only in books. The rising sea due to the global warming induced climate change, has wiped these villages out from India’s map. These 20,000, now homeless villagers, can aptly be called the climate’s first orphans.

STRANGE DAYS ON PLANET EARTH: THE ONE DEGREE FACTOR

Produced by : Sea Studios foundation for Vulcan productions, Inc and National Geographic Television and Film

One Degree FactorFrom the Arctic north to the tropical isles of the Caribbean, scientists are documenting a series of perplexing phenomena many believe is linked to climate change.

As heat accumulates in the global climate system, places such as Alaska and the northwest corner of Canada are getting more than their share. The average temperature has increased in some places here by as much as 11 degrees Fahrenheit. Emerging signs indicate that the region's rising temperature is affecting the indigenous Porcupine Caribou in ways both subtle and potentially severe.

ARE WE CHANGING PLANET EARTH

ARE WE CHANGING PLANET EARTH 

Directed by: David Attenborough

ARE WE CHANGING PLANET EARTH"This is our planet: planet Earth. It contains an astonishing variety of landscapes and climates. Since life began, around 4,000 million years ago, it has gone through extraordinary changes in its climate and in the species that live on it. But now it seems that our planet is being transformed — not by natural events, but by the actions of one species: mankind."

David Attenborough explores just how much climate change  is altering our planet. He looks ahead to find out what  needs to be done to save Planet Earth from the worst impact  of global warming and discovers what could happen to the  planet once a 'tipping point' of carbon emissions is  reached. He also discusses the solutions we can all adopt to  prevent catastrophic change.

Global Dimming

Produced By : Dox Productions  

Global Dimming Evidence of the previously unknown phenomenon of Global   Dimming, one that scientists believe could dramatically alter global temperatures

   

Climate scientists have discovered a phenomenon that threatens to disrupt   our world. It may already have contributed to the deaths of hundreds of   thousands through drought and famine. Unchecked, it will strike again.   The good news is that there is a cure. The bad news is that the cure may   be worse than the disease. If scientists are right, then we may be about   to unleash a climate catastrophe on our planet the like of which it hasn’t   experienced in its 4 billion years. This is a film about stark choices and   about the dawning realisation that all our predictions about the world’s   climate may be wrong. At its heart is something that scientists are calling   “global dimming”.

   

A GREEN AGONY

 A GREEN AGONY

Directed By: Geeta Singh

A GREEN AGONYEach morning as the rays of the sun sift through the leaves, the forest awakens to the sounds of lapping oars. Cruising through a maze of creeks and rivulets, boats small and big, negotiate their way to start yet another day of their lives. A life of constant struggle, struggle to stay afloat, struggle to find a space, struggle to simply survive. Along the borders of India and Bangladesh, where rivers meet the ocean, lies a world that knows no boundaries. Where man, mangroves and wild life are forever trying to hold their ground. A world that bows to none, but the vagaries of nature.This is the story of the Sundarbans … a world living in Agony.A Green Agony explores the unique ecosystem of the Sundarbans, the only mangrove Tiger land in the world, and analyses the impact of Global climate change on all the inhabitants of the region.
