In Understanding Carbon Footprints, host Harith Iskander explores how foods contribute to global warming. Each stage of food production — from farming to packaging and delivery — uses energy and releases gases that affect the climate. Learn how different types of food, such as meats and vegetables, have different impacts on the environment and discover ways we can make more eco-friendly choices. This video is excerpted from BBC’s Got Science?, a science magazine series that explores and explains science in everyday life.
In Melting Mountains and Sinking Cities, host Harith Iskander explains how physical features of the the Earth, such as the melting snow on Mount Kilimanjaro, the sinking of Mexico City, and the potential disappearance of the Dead Sea, are changing over time. Learn how natural and human-made factors contribute to the transformation of the Earth's physical landscape.
