Climate change - State of the science 2009
A brief but comprehensive overview of what science knows and does not know about climate change at the start of 2009. Very interesting live presentation given by a leading climate scientist at the 25C3 Chaos Communication Conference in Berlin 2008-12-30.

Storm Chasers 2 - HD
Following up on their successful 2007 season, the Storm Chasers returned with new vehicles, new teams and new tactics. The 2008 tornado season nearly set a record for tornado outbreaks and our determined band of chasers pulled out all the stops to break their own records for intercepts. Sure there were challenges, but with double the number of chase vehicles -- and much more mobility and range -- the Storm Chasers got the job done like never before.

Britains Biggest Storm - HD
In October 1987 Britain was hit by the biggest storm on record – it claimed 19 lives, was four times as big as a hurricane, had wind speeds of 110mph and caused a billion pounds worth of damage. And we had no warning it was coming. Now, 20 years to the day since it struck, ITV1’s Night of the Storm uses reconstructions, computer graphics and actual footage to recapture the moment the country was hit by the worst weather on record.

The Ultimate Guide To Extreme Weather - HD
Sun, wind, and rain are basic to life, but sometimes the weather is more than just that. Sometimes it's stronger, violent. The wind becomes a tornado, the rain a hurricane. The Earth's atmosphere, for a moment, makes it uninhabitable. And there's nothing we can do about extreme weather but try to predict it, prepare for it and hope that it never happens here.

The Day The Oceans Boiled - HD
Recently, the world has experienced some unusual and destructive weather. The media blame global warming, but influential voices around the world are expressing scepticism about the link between the burning of fossil fuels and climate change. By placing recent climatic history in the context of 4 billion years on Earth, The Day the Oceans Boiled examines the real strength of the scientific arguements behind the global warming hypothesis; and investigates just how great the risk of a flip to an entirely new, and possibly uninhabitable climate really is.

Naked Science - Meltdown - HD
Imagine a world where melting ice caps have raised sea levels by 20 feet (6 meters) and where the great costal cities of the world could be underwater. It's a nightmare scenario that could one day turn into reality. Now, Naked Science separates fact from fiction to discover the real science behind climate change, the melting ice caps and why powerful hurricanes have doubled in number in the last 30 years.

BBC Oceans - HD
Explorer Paul Rose leads a team of ocean experts in a series of global science expeditions. With him, maritime archaeologist Dr Lucy Blue investigates our past and our relationship with the sea, exploring shipwrecks and lost civilisations; marine biologist and Oceanographer Tooni Mahto seeks the extraordinary life in our oceans today; and environmentalist Philippe Cousteau Jr looks to the future of our oceans and charts the way they're changing. Filmed in High Definition in some of the most beautiful, diverse and threatened seas on our planet, the team travels across the world to the Southern Ocean, the Atlantic, the Indian Ocean, the Red Sea, the Sea of Cortez, the Arctic Ocean and the Mediterranean, to dive the depths of the world's seas and oceans. The planet's seas are changing fast and Oceans builds up a timely global picture of our planet's most magnificent and vital asset.
