This program presents a comprehensive scientific examination of global warming and El Niño, while viewers travel to the battlefields of Waterloo, to Hawaii and Antarctica, and across North America to learn how complex, contradictory, and influential weather can be. Topics include the role played by weather in Napoleon’s defeat, and the relationship of El Niño to underwater volcanic activity. Students are encouraged to question the scientific assumptions behind conflicting views on global warming. (51 minutes)
