Weathered: Earth’s Extremes

PBS: UK PREMIERE Starts Tuesday 24 February at 8.30pm

Science communicator Maiya May takes a journey across the U.S., from the sunny shores of Florida to the icy expanses of Alaska, to explore climate tipping points – those thresholds that lead to rapid and irreversible change.

In this six-part series, May explores such issues as why some urban settings are hotter than others and how we can turn the temperature down even in the most extreme environments, the impact of droughts and floods on agriculture and how climate change is affecting ocean currents.

Discover how crucial climate systems like coral reefs and permafrost are for our planet’s stability, how to protect your home and when it becomes necessary to move. You will also learn that not all tipping points are negative!

What the industry says about US

TT Spektra, Sweden

We use both the Global Listings press schedules (in Word) and their XML files. The programme descriptions are rather good and not too long, which is helpful. We use their text verbatim and import it direct into our database.

A+E Networks, Asia

As the Director of Operations APAC, I wanted to say a huge thank you for Global Listings’ work, for getting us to launch on Apple+ TV. Throughout the whole process GL have been extremely accommodating, understanding and efficient in working under continually changing guidelines. For our operations team it is a huge benefit to work with a partner that we know will respond quickly and positively to achieve a successful outcome. Many thanks again.
