Watching the Nat'l Geo special that my wife is on. She's on at the 3 minute mark, I doubt she'll be on again. Her boss, Tom Murphy, is on at about 11 minutes. They mistakenly identify him as an astronomer, he's a physicist.

There's an awful lot of hype in this program. They show these clips of the Eiffel Tower in a desert, they show NY flooding. THEY WON'T EXIST BY THE TIME THE VIDEOS DEPICT!

I do have to say, though. The animation is awesome. Just saw the segment of the Mars probe landing and it looked like video footage rather than animation.

(it's funny listening to Russet quibble about the oversimplification the scientists are making)
