Showtime To Launch Landmark Climate TV Series ‘Years Of Living Dangerously’ In April

This April, Showtime will start airing its ground-breaking climate change TV series on the experiences and personal stories of people whose lives have been touched by climate change. Years Of Living Dangerously is an 8-part series produced by the legendary storytellers and film-makers James Cameron, Arnold Schwarzenegger and Jerry Weintraub -– together with three former 60 Minutes producers who have 18 Emmys between them.

They provide gripping reports of people affected by, and seeking solutions to, climate change.
