Abstract:
"This groundbreaking ... documentary television series ... explores the human impact of climate change. From the damage wrought by Hurricane Sandy to the upheaval caused by drought in the Middle East, YEARS OF LIVING DANGEROUSLY combines the blockbuster storytelling styles of top Hollywood movie makers with the reporting expertise of today's most respected journalists."--Container.

True colors: In episode five, Olivia Munn profiles the nation's most climate-conscious governor - Jay Inslee of Washington State - and together they discuss the issues he has faced since being elected. Meanwhile, New York Times columnist Mark Bittman probes New Jersey Governor Chris Christie's evasion of the topic of man-made climate change during the rebuilding of his state's coastline post-Superstorm Sandy. A scientific consensus Christie used to acknowledge, but steadfastly refused to discuss during the rush to rebuild.

Winds of change: In episode six, America Ferrera profiles prominent climate skeptic James Taylor of the Heartland Institute as he crusades against clean energy, and investigates the battle over the future of renewable energy in the U.S. New York Times columnist Mark Bittman returns to conduct a yearlong investigation into natural gas, which has been touted as "America's energy source" and a way towards a cleaner, greener future. Is it true?
