Planet Earth is warming faster now than at any other time in the past 1000 years. Caused by human activities, global warming is the greatest threat to face humanity. Counteracting it is our greatest challenge. Mark Maslin explains what global warming is and presents the evidence that it is really happening. He examines the impact that it will have on health, agriculture, water resources, coastal regions, forests, and wildlife. He also looks at the efforts being made to counteract the effects of global warming, and at the ways in which we can adapt to climate change.
