Civilizations are far more vulnerable to climate change (not simply global warming) than has been recognised by those civilizations until too late.
DVD of the BBC series of the same name.
Midnight Sun: A natural phenomenon occurring in the summer months north of the Arctic Circle and south of the Antarctic Circle where the sun never fully sets and remains visible 24 hours a day. This short time lapse film was shot during the Icelandic Midnight Sun in June of 2011.
Stunning timelapse video from the Greenland Ice Project
Award-winning timelapse video, filmed in Australia, from Alex Cherney
Norwegian landscape photographer Terje Sørgjerd has become an Internet sensation in the past year, with his jaw-dropping, color-saturated time-lapse videos of northern landscapes. In his latest video, The Water, he forgoes the long, sub-zero arctic nights to tour the forests and fjords of western Norway.

Photographer Dustin Farrell shot this amazing timelapse video in Arizona and Utah, using a Canon 5D2 camera.
Today we take accurate maps of our country for granted, but how were the first maps made without the benefit of satellite imagery or GPS? This is the story of how the Ordnance Survey came to be, and how the First Series of One inch to the mile maps were made.
What vulcanologists do and why they do it - and what can happen when a volcano decides to erupt with little warning!
Production footage from the forthcoming film Timescapes, due for release in May 2012
Working from physical evidence, without prior assumptions, to identify the cause of climate change. Who (what) really dunnit?

How the Pacific Ocean Influences Global Climate –a Review of the Physical Evidence
Written by Robert Ellison
Changes in Pacific Ocean sea surface temperature lead the trajectory of global surface temperatures in the last century - rising to the mid 1940's, falling to the late 1970's and increasing thereafter to the late 1990's. Physical mechanisms involving a transfer of energy and moisture between the atmosphere and oceans are identified to explain the influence of sea surface temperature on surface temperature at decadal timescales. The sea surface temperature state changes are abrupt as the system behaves like a complex and dynamic system in the terms of chaos theory
