This 2010 documentary by Michael Nash explores the global impact of climate change and its serious destabilizing effect on international politics, turning the distant concept of global warming into a concrete human problem with enormous worldwide consequences. The filmmakers traveled the world for nearly 3 years to document the impact of climate change, witnessing people forced to leave their homes by climatic events with little or no protection. The film features a variety of scientists, relief workers, security consultants, and political figures—all of whom make a strong case that, whether human-caused or a product of nature, the changing climate is already creating humanitarian disasters and will inevitably lead to worldwide instability.
