Methane: Dream or Nightmare. Part 1
Description
This documentary addresses the major environmental challenges of our century by investigating a forgotten gas from Earth's past. With up to 20 times the warming potential of carbon dioxide, methane emissions could threaten life on earth. From the Arctic Ocean to Siberia to the Antarctic, what impact will this greenhouse gas have on our climate? Join scientific teams from the U.K., Russia, Denmark, Canada, France, and the U.S. as they study the effects of methane hydrate plumes released from ice melting on the ocean floor, melting permafrost, and other natural methane sources.
