　　It has been a while since scientists have discovered the heat-trapping influence of carbon dioxide. Today, atmospheric CO2 is increasing, temperatures are rising, and glaciers and ice sheets are melting.

　　本片是一次对再生能源承诺的吸引人的探索。这部影片在丹麦、巴西、中国、摩洛哥、西班牙、苏格拉和美国进行了实地外景拍摄，关注这些国家正在获得全球能量转换的不同方法。在过去，技术上的考量限制了采用清洁、可持续的能源方案。今天，经济和政治问题经常表现出最大的障碍。主持人理查德? 艾利走遍全球，在快节奏片段中解释了国际能源政策的是是非非。
