Mutant Weather

Episode 2

Megastorms

Global warming is causing climate change. With warmer oceans, storms are getting bigger and more destructive than ever before.

Episode 3

Cold (Freeze)

The polar vortex and jet stream is responsible for much of the earths weather. As global warming makes it sluggish, it tends to modify earth wide weather patterns in unpredictable ways, resulting in mutant weather phenomena.

Episode 4

Melt

Disappearing glaciers, shrinking sea ice, and thawing permafrost is increasing from year to year. This is threatening the planet with loss of drinking water and rising sea levels.

Episode 5

Earth

Climate change has many effects. Increased rainfall is causing bigger and more destructive flooding, landslides and sink hole events

Episode 6

Sky (Thunderstorms)

Smoke, chemical pollution and industrial gasses are all adding to the changing of the atmosphere - our sky. As more and more is produced, it is modifying the global weather patterns for the worse.

Episode 7

Tornadoes (Wind)

Most weather phenomena like tornado's and hurricanes rely on temperature differentials to grow in size. As the planet's temperature rises, the warmer surface layer of our oceans is providing the fuel for larger and more destructive storms.

Episode 8

Floods

Floods used to be rare but are now becoming the norm. More extreme weather causes higher rainfalls, and permanent flooding is swallowing up low lying areas across the globe resulting in the phenomenon of Weather Refugees.

Episode 9

Heat

Rising heat contributes to more violent weather phenomena, but also places additional stresses on the infrastructure of our daily lives. Electricity grids fail under air conditioner loads, water supplies fail and flora and fauna die.

Episode 10

Air

Our industrialized economies are affecting our world more and more. Every day we are changing the composition of the very air around us, thanks to emissions of carbon dioxide, methane and many other gases, which drives ever larger storms.
