2Turning up the Heat | The Heat Is On Changes to the global climate - why the weather is going crazy. Correspondent: Tara Brown Producer: Julian Cress It's alarming to think that in the not-too-distant future, the only place you'll be able to see the famed snows of Kilimanjaro is in the freezer of a research lab. Last year an American research team found that the icecap of Mount Kilimanjaro in Africa is melting. They predict that in 10 to 20 years from now it may have disappeared entirely. If scientists are correct, by the year 2090, world temperatures will have risen by up to five degrees Celsius and the effects of 'Turning up the Heat' will be disastrous. In this special investigation, Tara Brown travels to some of the coldest places on earth - including New Zealand's Franz Josef glacier, to talk to scientists who are unravelling the truth about global warming. The question many politicians and scientists are asking is, could it just be Mother Nature or is it a sign of things to come? [24/06/01]

3Boy Wonder | Boy Genius Profile and interview with a child genius. Correspondent: Carol Marin Most would experience wonder when running across a child with the intellect of an adult - a very advanced adult. As correspondent Carol Marin reports, such is the case when meeting 'Boy Wonder' - 10-year-old Sho Yano. Sho was just 8 when he scored 1,500 out of 1,600 on the college-entrance SATs; he started college at age 9. Last autumn, at Loyola University in Chicago, Sho, some 4 feet 4 inches tall, became the smallest man on campus with arguably the biggest IQ. He says his IQ has been tested at about 200 - well above average and what some would call genius level. But Sho doesn't like to dwell on the figures that support his extraordinary intelligence: "I don't really think IQ matters," he says. "It matters how much you work hard." At a time when other kids his age are toiling away in the fourth grade learning fractions and state capitals, he was studying pre-med and composing music. Carol Marin talks with the child prodigy about his life so far, his love of music, and his aspirations for the future - as well as his parents, who are adamant balance is the key to his happiness.
