You know about six degrees of separation. But what about six degrees to extinction?
Scientists predict that global temperatures will rise by between one and six degrees over the course of this century and author Mark Lynas paints a chilling, degree-by- degree picture of the devastation likely to ensue unless we act now.
A new show on National Geographic Channel, "Six Degrees Could Change the World" narrated by Alec Baldwin, investigates the startling
theory that earth average temperature could rise six degrees Celsius by the year 2100.
"Six Degrees Could Change the World" explores the potential impacts of global warming degree-by-degree through six degrees over the next
hundred years. Filmed on five continents, the program tracks the world's top climate researchers and follows ranchers, photographers, and everyday people to uncover climate trends.
Utilizing cutting-edge CGI and hard-hitting scientific data, the HD special will reveal how each potential degree affects us on all levels ?from the bottom of our deepest oceans to the tops of our highest mountains.
