i watch this show once in mid 90 on discovery because i saw connection before this and like burke a the narrator . he have the nag to compress data without water it down or add pointless drama to it . i remember only the end and figure if global warming be to happen and baltic would become the new tropic . this win win situation help me a lot . a while ago i saw new discovery show project earth with lamebrain idea to stop global warming and prognoses that anyone can question . because of their expansive ( and none cost efficient ) impractical idea that i remember burke documentary and decide to review it . oddly it be for free on youtube and it be worth it . the first part be base on history before 1990. it may not be perfect but it be worth to watch . i never think that because of natural temperature change historical event happen . temperature rise in 300bc melt the alp for rome to exploit all year round and then in 450ad it get colder and we get the dark age . viking be dumb and proud to freeze to death rather than plant tree and adapt and survive . i do not even know that ink could freeze and effect economy of the time . and i really underestimate the chimney . who know what you may discover form this show . the only bad side be the second part with speculation about the future . though after 20 year much be wrong and some thing do come true . now everyone be consumer and overpopulation be a problem and oil price go up create war for it . and now oil crisis help make more efficient car . the rest help support against global warming speculation . obviously many thing do not happen and we shouldn not be scar by every bad prognosis . the show isn not perfect but it have a lot of real science in it as well a simple cheap alternative to the problem . i still couldn not figure out why not dump salt in the north of atlantic to artificially regulate temperature . my favorite part be the ad where parent drive their kid to the dump so not to leave it up to them . i may not be perfect but it old stuff like this that make me more ecofriendly and i recommend this show to you and your kid .
