Ground zero for climate change and at risk of being wiped off the map, George is in Bangladesh during monsoon season to see how resilient and creative locals are adapting to their increasingly hostile environment.
Iceberg Alley
George heads to Newfoundland, Canada, the iceberg capital of the world, for an up-close look at these floating giants from above, from below, and from the very top of a frozen mountain on the move.
Due to rising temperatures, the polar ice caps are disappearing, leading to more icebergs showing up in the warmer water in and around Newfoundland Canada. By tracking the movement and disappearance of these icebergs, we can have a better understanding of Arctic Ice and the rapid changes in climate. Follow along as George tracks icebergs and gets up close to them, climbing them, and swimming under them to better understand how and why they move and melt.
The Reshaping of Laos
George explores Laos to witness a nation entering the modern world. He comes across ancient farming techniques, visits a conservation center that gives elephants a new way of life, and paddles an underground river that holds some timely secrets.
In Laos, rapid deforestation and big industry are destroying the nature of the country and it is on the tipping point of no return. Dry seasons are getting longer and the disappearing forests are causing global concern. George travels the country to check out the sources of the problem. How can Laos manage the needs of both people and planet?
Polar Peril
The world's largest land predator is under threat, and George is heading to Canada's far north to see how polar bears are coping with their rapidly changing climate.
Due to rising temperatures the habitat of the polar bear is diminishing. With longer summers and less food, this animal is becoming more vulnerable and their population is dwindling. In this episode of Angry Planet, George travels to Northern Canada to see how these big bears are coping with the change.
