How Global Warming Is Reshaping Life on Earth | SLICE EARTH | FULL DOC

Climate change is reshaping more than the weather. As greenhouse gases trap heat, heavier rainfall, longer heat waves, and shifting seasons alter the conditions that cities, farms, and wildlife depend on. Across the United States, floods disrupt planting, drought increases wildfire risk, and familiar places face increasingly unfamiliar climates. Tree rings, ice cores, and satellite observations help scientists trace this transformation and distinguish human-driven warming from natural climate variability. Projections for North American cities reveal how local climates could change by 2080, while plants and animals are already shifting their ranges. The pace of global warming raises a central question: how quickly can living systems adapt?
