It is reairing as I speak. It's called Six Degrees That Change The Earth. It is a documentary narrated by Daniel Baldwin featuring noted scientific minds. It is the brainchild of Mark Lyman a noted National Geographic author and is based on a book he wrote with a simmilar title. Six Degrees: Our Future on a Hotter Planet. It features the latest data from the IPCC, N.A.S.A. N.O.A.A. and National Geographics own extensive climatalogical studies.

This project was long in the making and predates an inconvenient truth and is devoid of any political machinations. Lyman is an objective scientist and National Geographic has been documenting geology since it's inception. This is not a 'doom and gloom' movie it is a model showing what each temperature increase would do to the Earth.

Also included on NG's website are extra pieces devoted to climate change, and this documentary. Both showcasing new technologies developed to fight Climate Change and energy saving solutions at home.

Here is some additional information about NG's efforts and the film. NG has joined the ranks of Scientific American and other respected scientific publications, who have started an increased focus on Climate Chang, with Scientific American devoting an entire cover to the caption, "The Debate about Global Warming is Over"

I look forward to hearing from those who watched this piece.
