About What Triggers a Sudden Ice Age in Less Than 10 Years?

Think our modern cities are safe from the elements? Think again. In Naked Science Series 2 Episode 1, we uncover the terrifying reality of sudden, violent climate flips that can plunge the Earth into a mini ice age in less than a decade. From the 1998 Montreal ice storm that left 1.4 million homes without power to the ancient volcanic eruptions that literally erased summers, we look at how fragile our high-tech infrastructure truly is. Top scientists reveal data from two-mile-deep Greenland ice cores and warn of a staggering 50% chance that our ocean currents could shut down in the next 100 years. If the global conveyor stops, temperatures in major cities could plunge by 10 degrees, turning thriving metropolises into frozen, unlivable wastelands. This isn't slow, predictable cycles—this is an immediate threat to human survival. Licensed to Little Dot Studios. WONDER is packed with binge worthy reality documentaries for hours of entertainment.

CONGO: Protecting The Home of The Gorillas

Deep in the northern region of the Republic of the Congo lies a vast tropical rainforest that holds a surprising secret about modern wildlife conservation. While many believe that national parks are the only safe havens for critically endangered species, this documentary reveals why a staggering 70,000 western lowland gorillas are thriving inside a commercial logging territory. This is the story of a unique pact between humans and nature. At the same time, the film addresses the harsh realities facing the Congo Basin. Armed rangers wage a constant battle against the illegal bushmeat market and high-value elephant poaching networks, while local villages face devastating crop raids by forest elephants. From traditional Baka pygmy communities using ancient medicine trees to modern towns built on sustainable timber jobs, this footage highlights the delicate balance between economic survival and protecting the world's second-largest rainforest.
