Research abstract
Ceilings Unlimited proposes to develop a popular entertainment television show (¿The Program¿) for climate education and outreach. The Program will present tales of the human impact of climate and climate science, highlighting the role NOAA¿s climate services play in our nation¿s engagement on issues of climate and climate change. In Phase II, Ceilings Unlimited will distill the results of the Phase I feasibility efforts and produce a Pilot Documentary for an ongoing series that ties the civil service work of NOAA¿s climate services to the real, personal, human impact of our climate. This series will be targeted for a three to thirteen episode run, depending on the distribution partner; each episode will also work as a stand alone program. The proposed research is to find the right combination of the communications goals, scientific expertise, and climate services of NOAA, with the actors, writers, concept, and distribution channel for a successful, prime-time television program on a major cable or television network.
