 Climate change is a global phenomenon, but its effects are most clearly demonstrated on a regional level. This program connects the local and planetary aspects of global warming through environmental case studies, focusing on North Carolina’s Outer Banks, South Carolina’s coastal areas, and Florida’s Everglades and Keys. Long-time residents of each state describe ecological changes they have observed in their lifetimes, while researchers and activists provide additional commentary. Dr. William Schlesinger of Duke University, Angela Viney of the South Carolina Wildlife Federation, and Superintendent Dan Kimball of the Everglades National Park are featured. Also included is a slide show highlighting the locations studied. (35 minutes)
