BBC takes cue from High Tide 04 August 04

Last week the BBC devoted three days to climate change, leading with a series of correspondent reports from around the world highlighting places suffering the first and most dramatic effects of global warming. Sound familiar? I have it from a reliable source the High Tide was a major inspiration for the features. This might explain why Shishmaref, Alaska and the expanding deserts of northern China – both High Tide locations – were chosen for the reports. You can still watch video of all the reports on the BBC’s Global Warning pages. My own contributions – interview slots on BBC World and News 24 – unfortunately didn’t make it onto the web!
