Six Degrees Could Change The World
Based on Mark Lynas' book, "Six Degrees: Our Future
On A Hotter Planet", the National Geographic special
will offer a hypothetical look at how the world might change,
degree by degree. By combining scientific research and powerful
climatic models, the special gives us insight into what
the future might bring if we continue down the present path
of emissions.
At One Degree, the world will experience a new American
desert, massive coral bleaching, and lost Australian rainforests.
At Two Degrees, oceanic acidity will rise drastically, India
will begin to face extreme Monsoon seasons, and water shortages
will spell trouble in China and South America.
At Three Degrees, the Arctic will face 80% ice loss, New
York City suffers from flooding, and Southern California
will be constantly at risk for fires.
At Four Degrees, Asia will suffer from melting permafrost
and Florida residents will become climate refugees.
At Five Degrees, the desert dry belt in Africa will expand
drastically, and human colonies will begin to pioneer Antarctica.
At Six Degrees, the carbon cycle will explode and the human
race will be struggling for survival.
