The 9-part TV series, which is the “biggest story of our time” according to filmmaker James Cameron, reports on the crippling effects of climate change-related weather events and the ways individuals, communities, companies and governments are struggling to find solutions to the biggest threat our world has ever faced.
The first episode focuses on the severe droughts in the United States Southwest and follows Katherine Hayhoe, a scientist and a devout Christian as she tries to communicate to religious audiences the connection between extreme weather and Global Warming.
