Description

From icecaps to hot springs, Discovery Channel's Daily Planet travelled to remote corners of the Earth to find out what we can do to reverse global warming and what people are doing to create a sustainable future. This adaptation of the popular Daily Planet special series on global warming written by host and award-winning science writer Jay Ingram explains what global warming is and possible solutions—even extreme solutions—for dealing with our warming planet. How does the average person make a difference in the fight to stop climate change and global warming? Ingram explains how people are making a difference, from using solar-powered ovens to living off the grid.
