Weather does its thing

The film looks at the human relationship to climate and shows how in the past we have changed our weather for the worse. The World Weather Watch is followed and the interchange of facts taking place between the World Weather Watch Centres at Washington, Moscow and Melbourne is seen. The significance of WWW is explained by David A. Davies, Secretary-General of the World Meteorological Organisation.
