It is now a generally accepted fact that global climate change is a human induced phenomenon. While meteorologists debate the rate at which it's happening, other scientist and visionaries are busy doing something about it. Turning Down the Heat travels the world showcasing practical and economically viable solutions to climate change. From the solar energy in the United States, Japan and Holland, to energy efficiency in Canada, to the wind revolution in Europe and Asia--the film takes an optimistic look at how we can radically reduce our greenhouse gas emissions.
