What Earth in 2050 might look like - Shannon Odell

What could our future world look like if we continue to do nothing about climate change? Take a look at the possibilities. -- While we’re already feeling the devastating effects of human-caused climate change, governments continue to fall short on making and executing emissions pledges that would help thwart further warming. So, what will our world look like in the next 30 to 80 years, if we continue on the current path? Shannon Odell offers a glimpse at Earth's possible future. Lesson by Shannon Odell, directed by Sofia Pashaei.
