There was a BBC drama last year - I think it was on what would happen if
we experienced a sudden dramatic heatwave in the UK, and it's effects on
people and services. It was quite interesting.
On the jokey side, there was an episode of Lois and Clark, the new
adventures of superman, where Lex Luthor raised the temperature of
Metropolis by pumping waste into an underground water system, and Tank
Girl is set in a world which no longer has any water, but I don't think
either really made any serious reference to climate change.
Cheers
