As Asia races ahead to be the new industrial and economic powerhouse, will economic considerations become a major obstacle in the fight against climate change? And what has been their response so far to stop the looming catastrophe?
Stephen Petranek reveals the question that occupies scientists at the end of the day (and the beginning of happy hour): How might the world end?

In a taut soliloquy that takes us from the origins of the universe to the last days of a dying sun 6 billion years later, renowned cosmologist Sir Martin Rees explains why the 21st century is a pivotal moment in the history of humanity: the first time in history when we can materially change ourselves and our planet. Stunning imagery of cosmological wonders show us the universe as we know it now. Speaking as "a concerned member of the human race," Rees harkens to the wisdom of Einstein, calling for scientists to act as moral compasses, confronting the coming developments and ensuring our role in "the immense future."
With the same humor and humanity he exuded in An Inconvenient Truth, spells out 15 ways we can address climate change, from buying a hybrid car to inventing a hotter brand name for global warming. First, though, comes a hilarious set of stories from The New Gore, who turns out to be a stand-up comedian. The former Vice President has plenty of joke material, and he's funnier than you've ever seen him. Then he gets down to grittier matters with a list of actions ordinary people can take to stem the tide of global warming.

At NASA, scientists strive to better understand these changes and how they are interconnected. Using remote-sensing data from satellites, this research diagnoses our planet’s current health and will help future generations and explorers understand the earth system as a whole.
This was (so far) the last installment in the Earth Change climate change documentary series. This one remixed by the vj little Catalyst (aka lee schnaiberg), and DJ Semira, the ex-channel zero crew, and AsiaDMC champ DJ $hin. Mixed with about 30 interviews, the video covers the following areas: climate change, Ice Ages, Soil Remineralization, Climate Models, free energy machines, alternative energy, climate politics, food and climate, and a host of other solutions. This is all about solutions, we already know (mostly) about the problems .
