Packed with fascinating facts, this is the astonishing story of the numbers that underpin everything we know about climate change. Earth’s climate is changing – understanding how has become one of the biggest scientific projects ever undertaken. But the epic scale of this study has made it remote and difficult to understand; we’re overwhelmed by a blizzard of information and no-one knows which bits to believe. This revelatory documentary looks at the incredible methods that allowed scientists to arrive at precise figures, and uses stories from around the world to present this previously obscure field in an accessible way. A timely take on an urgent issue, Climate Change by Numbers reveals why scientists are so certain they are right, where we have reached the limits of our knowledge, and what uncertainty really means.

The raw, early Earth had plenty of color, but that was nothing compared with what was going to come next. That canvas was about to be painted with a vast new palette - and the source of those colors was life. Green is the color of the natural world and yet it's the one color that plants have evolved not to use. The huge diversity of human skin tones tells the story of how humanity spread and ultimately conquered the planet. But the true masters of color turn out to be some of the smallest and most elusive. Helen Czerski travels to the Great Smokey Mountains of Tennessee during the one week in the year when fireflies light up the night sky with their colorful mating display. And she reveals the marine animals that hide from the world by changing the color of their skin.
