Are We At The Tipping Point?

S5 E1 / 26m 17s / TV-PG

Maiya May embarks on a journey across the United States, from the sunny shores of Florida to the icy expanses of Alaska, to explore climate tipping points – thresholds that lead to rapid and irreversible change. Discover how critical our climate systems are for our planet’s stability. Are these vital ecosystems already past their tipping point, or is there still hope to reverse the damage?

Adapt or Leave?

S5 E2 / 26m 20s / TV-PG

When is it time to leave your home? Maiya May visits Isle de Jean Charles, Louisiana, one of the first communities in the US to undergo a federally funded relocation due to climate change. She talks to resident, Chris Brunet, about his decision to move away from the island where his family has lived for generations.

The Heat is On

S5 E3 / 26m 16s / TV-PG

Maiya explores the most deadly kind of weather, heat, in an unlikely place: Portland, Oregon. She revisits the 2021 heat dome, one of the most anomalous weather events recorded on earth. In order to understand why some urban areas are hotter than others, she travels to Medellín, Colombia. Then she visits the hottest city in the US, Phoenix, Arizona, to see how we can turn the temperature down.

Water Whiplash

S5 E4 / 26m 18s / TV-PG

Maiya May explores the growing extremes of droughts and floods and their impact on our food and water. She visits Tulare Lake, once a critical water reserve and cultural site for the Tachi-Yokut tribe, which has re-emerged after 150 years. Maiya learns about agriculture's challenges, the depletion of groundwater, and finds hope in innovative farming practices.

Not “Business As Usual”

S5 E5 / 26m 16s / TV-PG

Maiya explores positive climate tipping points. She travels from Wyoming to Michigan and back to her hometown of Atlanta. In Cheyenne, she visits a supercomputer to see how climate systems are predicted and analyzed. In Michigan, she witnesses the end of a coal plant, marking progress in the global energy transition. Back in Atlanta, Maiya speaks with Dr. Marshall Shepard about climate challenges.

Climate Crossroads

S5 E6 / 26m 8s / TV-PG

In our season finale, Maiya returns to Florida to explore the impacts of climate change on ocean currents, where scientist Lisa Beal has uncovered a slowing Gulf Stream, hinting at a critical tipping point. But not all tipping points are bad: she also travels to meet Stacey Abrams and learn about electrification efforts, takes a flight lesson, and learns about achieving net-zero emissions.
