Canada's leading climate scientists take turns explaining their specialties in this film directed by Ray Kocur, which premiered at the UN Framework Convention on Climate Change's COP19 in Warsaw before being re-cut for general audiences. Kimberley Strong of the University of Toronto tracks CO2 emissions as they travel around the globe from their source, while Queen's University's John Smol describes decades spent in the Arctic watching ancient ponds evaporate. Richard Peltier walks through the three separate mechanisms behind sea-level rise, from melting ice to plate tectonics, and Rich Petrone covers the carbon stored in forests and peatlands. Jason Gerhard addresses groundwater contamination, Gordon McBean and Slobodan Simonovic outline flood risk and extreme weather probability, and historian Sean Kheraj places all of it against Canada's environmental past, including the Alberta tar sands. The film closes with Jennifer Lynes, Johanna Wandel, and Manuel Riemer discussing what adaptation and personal responsibility could look like once the data has been laid out.
