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.
