National Geographic will be airing, “Six Degrees Could Change the World” again on February 14, 2007 at 8pm eastern time or 9 pm pacific time. According to a spokesperson for National Geographic, the premiere reached over 6 million people. This film portrays a hypothetical look at the devastating effects to our planet as if continues to heat degree by degree from our lack of emission controls. It will bring home that we need to change our ways. Tape or Tivo this movie if you are unable to watch it tonight. (Then of course, unplug the device…)
See this video at 4 degrees hotter than today.

February 14, 2008 at 12:48 pmI was told by one of their spokepeople that you can get it on amazon.com in April. Here is the link:http://www.amazon.com:80/s/ref.....ywords=six degrees could change the world&x=0&y=0You can pre-order it now though.
Has anyone seen this show yet since this is their second airing? I would be curious of what people thought. Anna

February 14, 2008 at 5:39 pmI am still trying to decide what I think. The National Geographic Network network is not a leader for me in truth telling. There have been so many religiously slanted programs, military type things, a new cop show.
Let’s just say I am skeptical. Another thing, I was appalled to see the Greenwashing ads for Dow, Hummer, PepsiCo’s 7-up, Clorox’s Green Works, Unicsom sleeping pills, Mitzubitchi car, Nutrisystem though.

February 17, 2008 at 1:24 pmI have it on my DVR just waiting to be watched. We’re going to watch The 11th Hour next Thursday night, too. Its one of the few midwest showings and its close to home.
I’ll be back after I’ve watched the films.

February 24, 2008 at 11:09 pmI haven’t seen this yet but for those that haven’t seen “An Inconvienient Truth” should do so, now add 2 years all the events are beginning to unfold. Wake up now.

October 29, 2008 at 12:12 amThis movie is scary, but I enjoy it. I want to help out anyway I can, but it has helped me realize that I really need to travel the world. I can’t trust humans to fight against global warming, or that even though I live more environmentally friendly, I can change the world. So, I need to get out of America and see what makes Earth so fantastic.
I wish I could save the planet. I can try and I will be more aware and spread the word.. but I wish it wasn’t true. I realize this is predicting the future, but some of this has already happened. I want to believe this movie is totally bogus, but it’s not. That’s the most disturbing part.
