onApr 7, 2014 @ 15:26 PDT

Looking for something inspiring to watch tonight instead of Game of Thrones? Check out this sneak peak of Years of Living Dangerously, which will premiere on Showtime on Sunday, April 13 at 10pm. Years Of Living Dangerously is a 9-part series produced by James Cameron, Arnold Schwarzenegger and Jerry Weintraub along with former 60 Minutes producers who have 18 Emmys between them. Showtime and the producers were gracious enough to provide the first episode in full on YouTube.

Once you see it, I bet you’ll want to sign up for Showtime to see the rest of the series this spring. (Yes, it’s on Showtime which not many households or establishments subscribe to. But wouldn’t you like to support the network that hosts such an important series about climate change?)
