California at the Tipping Point of Climate Change
April 19, 2009 · Print This Article
It’s all too easy to remove yourself emotionally from the gargantuan problem of global warming because you feel like its effects are a world away. But the fact is that climate change is affecting the entire world already, including places uncomfortably close to home – or perhaps even in your own region. California, for example, is now being affected in ways both dramatic and subtle.
That’s the focus of a new episode of KQED’s multimedia series QUEST, called “California at the Tipping Point”. It’s a 22-minute special report about the science behind climate change and the environmental changes taking place throughout the state. Watch below:
KQED (San Francisco public television) also produces the series ‘Climate Watch’. Check out the latest episode, “At the Core of Climate Change”, which explores how 8-foot long ice core samples extracted from deep in the ice layer of Antarctica hold key evidence of rapidly changing climatic conditions, online at the KQED website.
