Around the globe scientists are racing to solve a series of mysteries. Unsettling transformations are sweeping across the planet and clue by clue the investigators are assembling a new picture of Earth. They are discovering things that are seemingly disparate events but they are connected. Crumbling houses in New Orleans are linked to voracious creatures from southern China. Vanishing forests in Yellowstone are linked to the disappearance of wolves. An asthma epidemic in the Caribbean is linked to dust storms in Africa. Scientists suspect we have entered a time of global change that is faster than any human being has ever witnessed?
Where are we headed? What can we do to alter this course of events? National Geographic's Strange Days on Planet Earth premiered in Spring 2005 on PBS. It explores these questions drawing upon research being generated by a new discipline, Earth System Science (ESS). This series aims to create an innovative type of environmental awareness by the revealing of a cause and effect. 3 1/2* (I liked this movie)
