Degrees of change
Description
Scientists predict that temperatures could rise as many as six degrees as a result of climate change - but how will this affect the UK, if at all? Degrees of Change is a climate-change poem that explores the impact of increases in temperature on our land and seas. In this film, a mix of contributors - from the Chief Executive of the Royal Meteorological Society to a tower-crane operator and a London Fire Brigade Officer - present a range of probable and possible futures, in verse. They also share their views on the importance of climate change, and whether we can do anything about it. Are we already on course for a two-degree rise in temperature? At what point will we start running out of water? How likely is it that we ll experience more storms and flooding as the UK gets hotter and hotter?
