  What's Up With the Weather?  Apr. 18, 2000 120 minutes  Since
the late 1980s, rising temperatures and dramatic weather-from
heat waves and hurricanes to melting glaciers-have fueled a
global political and scientific debate about whether life on
earth is imperiled by human-caused global warming. NOVA and
FRONTLINE join forces to examine what climatologists really know
about the greenhouse effect. What is the connection between
rising levels of carbon dioxide and rising temperatures? And
what will the real impact of global warming be? The program
examines the enormous difficulty in reducing the levels of
greenhouse gases in a highly technological world economy and
explores the political struggle between environmentalists and
industrialists, between rich and poor countries, to grapple with
what promises to be the most perplexing issue of the twenty-
first century.  Producer(s): Jon Palfreman  Corporate
