Hurricanes, droughts and wildfires. Record-breaking heatwaves, and flood-inducing rainfall – the evidence of a climate in crisis surrounds us.

In a timely two-hour documentary coming to PBS America in October, NOVA cuts through the confusion surrounding climate change. Decoding the Weather Machine attempts to better understand the workings of the weather and the climate machine we call Earth, and ultimately seeks to reveal how humanity can adapt, possibly even thrive, in this evolving world.

Decoding the Weather Machine premieres on PBS this October, with Part 1 at 7:50pm on 1 October and Part 2 at 7:50pm on 2 October.

PBS America is available on Freeview 94, Freesat 155, Virgin Media 276 and Sky 160.
