Here at Scientific American, the fate of Earth is an important part of our coverage, from our new publication, Earth 3.0, to a grand plan for solar energy, to daily reporting on climate change. Sometimes, we send reporters to bring back first-hand accounts of these and other issues, as David Biello did from China and Merrill Goozner did from Siberia last summer.
But sometimes it makes sense for news orgs to collaborate to get the biggest bang for their buck and best serve readers and viewers. So we’ve been working with CNN, which debuts the next episode of its series Planet in Peril Thursday night, December 11, at 9 P.M. Eastern time. (Full disclosure: My wife is a writer at the network’s Anderson Cooper 360.)
One segment of Planet in Peril deals with the food crisis, covered in our In-Depth Report here. Last year, the series reported on the future of Earth’s polar regions, which we tackle in our own report here, including blogs from a Columbia University scientist in Antarctica now.
Tune in to CNN Thursday night, and stay tuned to our In-Depth Reports for ongoing coverage. In the meantime, here’s a trailer from Planet in Peril.

Add CommentThe planet is just fine, and it's definitely not in peril. If you look closely enough at any scene you will find warts on everybody's backsides. Our planet is just like an accordian, it inhales and exhales with fairly reasonable regularity, but there are burps.
Reply | Report Abuse | Link to thisToday's Green agenda is greatly exagerating this, coupled with goofballs like Anderson Cooper from CNN trying to expand on something non-existant is just plain bad reporting.
If this is a "science" magazine, then start doing your job! Investigate and report facts, not sensationalism that special interest groups like the Global Warming crowd keeps throwing at us. I'd like to see more rebuttal reporting by Dr. Tim Ball, at least he is a "real" scientist, in the profession of climatology and the environment.
The MSM magazines, and the network televison outlets are reporting utter garbage with no rebuttal. This only enhances a mistrust of the reported information, especially when it comes to light when Global Warming supporters get found tampering with statistics, like the NASA scientist who deliberately miscalculated very important facts.
You owe it to all science to prove your facts before reporting, if not, your magazine is nothing more than a paper back fiction writers colouring book with cute pictures. Its just plain lazy reporting, and misleading the reading public who are trying to decide right from wrong.
