Synopsis
Documentary that examines the effect of global warming on the natural world. Polar bears are becoming thinner and bearing fewer offspring. The Adelie penguin is moving south from its home in the Antarctic. In North America, the Edith's checkerspot butterfly is moving north. Great Britain's oak trees are blooming two weeks earlier than 30 years ago, and its swallows are arriving two weeks earlier. In the cloud forests of Costa Rica, keel-billed toucans and other normally lowland birds are invading higher altitudes where they are overlapping and competing for food. The program presents evidence that Earth's temperature is increasing at a faster rate than once thought -- and faster than the natural world can adapt.
