Climate Currents is a compilation of The Current's exploration of the world that climate change is creating. It explores how global warming is changing places, people and the way we live, from what we eat to where to go on vacation.
Show 1: The Canadian Arctic. Anna Marie Tremonti takes a tour with local seal hunters on the frigid waters of Frobisher Bay off the Baffin Islands. And a look at how the Arctic's other seal hunters - polar bears - are faring as their icy habitat melts.
Show 2: Ethical Travel. A conversation with George Monbiot, author of Heat: How to Stop the Planet from Burning, about whether it's still ethical to fly to vacation destinations. Also, the burgeoning carbon offsets industry and how conscientious air travelers try to erase their carbon footprint.
Show 3: The Canadian Rockies. Canada's glaciers are disappearing at an alarming rate. At stake are the rivers created by glacial melt waters and whole landscapes in the Rockies.
Show 4: The Future of Sports. World class skiers are coming up against the reality of climate change. they are searching for snow. Will winter sports melt away forever? Canadian Olympic skier Sara Renner talks about her concerns.
Show 5: Europe. Climate Currents maps the changes to tourism expected with climate change. We travel to Venice where global warming is an added threat to a sinking city.
Show 6: Challenges Ahead: Food Security and Migration - Climate Currents looks at the links that connect climate change to our future food supply, to human migration and in turn, to global security.
Show 7: Impact on Africa. We go to the foot of Mount Kilimanjaro, Africa's highest mountain where the snow cap is melting - FAST. And a few hundred miles to the North, the Maasai see drought bringing an end to their ancient way of life.
Show 8: Impact of Climate Change on Canada. For 60 million years the tiny pine beetle lived in peaceful co-existence with B.C.'s ecosystem. Now it's on a rampage across the country. Also, we look into the choices we're making in Canada's boreal forests.
Show 9: Ethical Eating and Your Footprint. The average North American meat eater's love of burgers and steak adds as many greenhouse gases to the atmosphere as an SUV. Climate Currents explores this environmental movement.
Show 10: Australia and Climate Change. Australia is in the midst of a devastating drought. We take a look at the mental health crisis and spate of suicides it has caused among the country's farmers. We also speak with Australiam Tim Flannery, author of 'The Weather Makers'.
