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!
