Rockhopper TV Explores the Effects of Climate Change in LA
The natural disasters that are occurring more frequently around the world in Tokyo, Australia and so on, are not natural. They are the visible and disastrous effects of climate change and they are growing worse each day. In an eight-part documentary series titled Hot Cities, one group tracks global climate change and how this is affecting cities across the world. We look at episode 8, “Surviving Climate Change” to discover more about the detrimental impact of climate change.
Produced by Rockhopper TV, “Surviving Climate Change” takes a look at Los Angeles, which is one of the most polluted cities in the world. . Here the effects of climate change can be seen simply by driving along the streets. It is a city of consumption where people live life to the fullest with scant regard for how this impacts on the environment. One of the biggest problems facing the city is its carbon emissions – up to 20 tonnes per person per year – which is largely due to their love of the motor car. These emissions are a major cause of climate change, and while LA’s emission levels are double those of anywhere else, we all need to make serious changes to our lifestyles in order to change this.
South Africa has one of the world’s highest percentages of HIV with an astonishing 30% of the population being HIV positive.

Rockhopper TV has boldly chosen to send its crew once more into the frozen wastelands as they attempt the British Antarctic Expedition. This is not a tour for the feint-hearted and has lead to the untimely deaths of many who have not respected the terrible terrain, or the fearsome creatures who live in this snowy tundra. For Rockhopper TV though, this trip was yet another reason to document their journey across our planet. This is Rockhopper’s third such trip to the Antarctic and while they are there, they will visit regions such as the Larsen Ice Shelf, Fossil Bluff, the Flask Glacier and they will create a special report for the increased warming that is threatening the West Antarctic Ice Sheet. 
Another week, another interesting TV show by Alvin as he continues to explore the world of the social entrepreneur. Today, he travels to Zambia to meet the founder of CAMFED (Campaign for Female Education), an organization that empowers bitterly poor, young girls in Africa into starting their own business. As a business guide, Alvin inspires people the world over who cannot afford the help of insanely expensive business moguls – his advice is warm, friendly and always needed. Alvin himself can easily empathize with others as he was raised in a poor household in the deep south of the United States.
