Discovery Channel: The Great Warming (April 22, 2004)

This program deserves a thread of its own:

We are living at the dawn of a new epoch. Year by year, degree by degree, Earth is growing warmer... a legacy of the Industrial Revolution, population growth, and our addiction to technology, speed and power.

Just as other generations spoke of a Great Plague and a Great Depression, our children will be compelled to endure The Great Warming - and find a way to conquer its consequences.

Filmed in eight countries on four continents, endorsed by dozens of the world's leading scientists, this three-hour television series is the most factually accurate, visually stunning and wide-ranging production ever mounted about this complex, fascinating subject.

I hadn't heard about this! I'm setting up my Tivo now!

Sounds interesting, but I'm inclined to temper my enthusiasm until I see it. I hope it is a good educational vehicle and motivational tool. Here's the schedule

This is a Canadian production, evidently not showing in the U.S.

Why am I not surprised.....

to protest. I think they don't want to pick up the Michael Powell, son of the grand national liar-coward Colon Powell.
