Academy film: "Six Degrees Could Change the World"

2008, documentary

Director: Ron Bowman
Writer:Mark Lynas
Voice: Alec Baldwin

Plot: The film runs through the effect each degree in temperature change has on the world.
The film visualizes in spectacular HD the devastating ecological impact each single degree increase in temperature could have on our planet over the next century.

The show is a graphic exposure of global warming based on noted science writer and 2006 National Geographic Emerging Explorer Mark Lynas' book - Six Degrees: Our Future on a Hotter Planet, how Earth’s climate will be impacted with every degree of increase in temperature—and what we need to do about it, now, to avert disaster.
According to Lynas' research, scientists have established that the current episode of global warming of about 0.7 degrees Celsius (1.2 degrees Fahrenheit) in the last century has pushed Earth’s temperatures up to levels unprecedented in recent history.

Runtime: 1h20
