In BBC's three-part series, geologist Dr Iain Stewart takes us on a journey through the history of climate change, the rise of the skeptics, and the future challenges of climate scientists.
While this documentary first aired in 2008 it is an excellent primer on the climate change controversy and the importance of moving out of controversy and into action.
Climate Wars Part 1 - Battle Begins
In this part 1, Dr Iain Stewart traces the history of climate change and examines how some in the scientific community got it wrong in the beginning and some like Jason, who wrote the first official report on global warming in 1979 didn't.
Climate Wars Part 2 - Fight Back
Part 2 is about the skepticism, real or fake, of which there is much to bog down public understanding. Iain examines some of the scientific arguments that developed from skeptics. He interviews some of these skeptics and discovers how their positions are constantly changing.
Climate Wars Part 3 - Fight for the Future
Part 3 concludes the series by looking at the biggest challenge facing climate scientists and can they predict the consequences of global warming? Iain discovers that scientists are becoming increasingly concerned that their models are actually underestimating these consequences.
