History Of Climate Change

Ìý

History Of Climate Change is a thorough and definitive guide to the subject of climate change, over three hour-long programmes on Â鶹ԼÅÄ Two.

Ìý

Charting the issue of how we know what we know about climate change, its aim is to show how scientists went from thinking the world was tipping into an ice age in the Seventies, to being sure that we are now heading towards global warming. It asks the question: if we were so wrong then, how can we be so sure now?

Ìý

Presented by Dr Iain Stewart (Earth – The Power Of The Planet), the series looks at how climate science has developed over the last 30 years, and studies the evidence for anthropogenic climate change.

Ìý

It considers the position taken by sceptics and engages with their arguments in detail, and looks at the interaction between scientists, politics and big business.

Ìý

Examining what we do know, what we don't know, what we can only speculate about and what we can never know about climate change, the series offers a comprehensive guide to the subject.
