It is happening and we've had proof for 20 years by Science Teacher (Stockbridge, GA USA)  5 Stars
July 07, 2005
Though done in the 80s this program sets up the realization that global warming is taking place. Anyone who has not seen this program should. A great program that shows where the ideas come from and how many different sources of information are used to back up the claims. The current denial of our politicians, our power and oil companies seems to be absurd even without everything we have learned since. I use this as the transition between weather and ecology in a senior level high school class. The student watch with better than normal attention. A fascinating program.
