Climate change is here, it's real, and it didn't happen overnight. Over the past 150 years, human activities like manufacturing, transportation, commercial agriculture and energy production have created a blanket of carbon pollution that's changed the Earth's ecosystems. But even though the climate crisis is deep-rooted and complex, we can't just give up. Transforming our world is urgent and necessary -- and we already have everything we need to protect the planet we call home. (Narrated by Don Cheadle)
