 Channel\n\nBy the year 2100, many scientists believe that the Earth’s 
 average temperature could rise by as much as six degrees Celsius.  In a 
 compelling investigation, National Geographic leads a degree-by-degree 
 journey to explore what each rising — and critical — degree could mean 
 for the future of people and the planet.  This spectacular film shows how 
 global warming has already affected the reefs of Australia, the ice fields 
 of Greenland, and the Amazonian rain forest.\n\nThe oceans are the critical 
 carbon absorbing element and dead and dying coral is the “canary in the 
 coal mine” indicator of coming disaster — dead oceans by 2050.  The 
 Amazon is the next most critical element in global warming.  The film shows 
 riveting views of the Amazon river drying up in 2005, and the potential 
 scenarios of drought, fires,  and more drought in the Amazon.  All this 
 devastation on land and in water is not to mention  the increasing 
 destructiveness of weather — which today we are all aware of in the 
 everyday news media.  One amazing esoteric point in the film is its 
 spotlight on a man who figured out the total carbon footprint of the 
 cheeseburger, to include the methane farts of the cows.\n\nWith a sobering 
 look at the effects of our world’s insatiable appetite for energy, the 
 film explains what’s real, what’s still controversial, and how existing 
 technologies and remedies could help dial back the global thermometer. We 
 are well on our way to 2-3 degrees rise in temperature right 
 now.\n\nWheelchair accessible around the corner at  411  28th  Street\n\n$5 
 donations are accepted\n\n
