The BBC are ramping up the propaganda:
Sir David Attenborough is to present an "urgent" new documentary about climate change for BBC One.
The one-off film will focus on the potential threats to our planet and the possible solutions.
The broadcaster says "conditions have changed far faster" than he ever imagined when he first started talking about the environment 20 years ago.
The documentary will show footage showing the impact global warming has already had.
It will also feature interviews with climatologists and meteorologists to explore the science behind recent extreme weather conditions, including the California wildfires in November 2018.
Last December, Sir David called climate change "humanity’s greatest threat in thousands of years" at the opening ceremony of the United Nations climate change conference.
He said it could lead to the collapse of civilisations and the extinction of "much of the natural world".
Earlier this year he spoke to Prince William at the World Economic Forum about how people must care, respect and revere the natural world.
Sir David, 92, said that when he started his career in the mid-1950s, he did not think there was anybody who thought "there was a danger that we might annihilate part of the natural world."
"It may sound frightening, but the scientific evidence is that if we have not taken dramatic action within the next decade, we could face irreversible damage to the natural world and the collapse of our societies," he says in the documentary.
The BBC said the film would "deliver an unflinching exploration of what dangerous levels of climate change could mean for human populations."
"There is a real hunger from audiences to find out more about climate change and understand the facts," said Charlotte Moore, the BBC’s director of content.
"We have a trusted guide in Sir David Attenborough, who will be speaking to the challenging issues that it raises, and present an engaging and informative look at one of the biggest issues of our time."
Climate Change – The Facts will be broadcast this spring.

According to Charlotte Moore, "There is a real hunger from audiences to find out more about climate change and understand the facts," I say Bull, Charlotte. Opinion polls repeatedly tell us that most people don’t give a toss about climate change. This new programme is nothing but a brazen attempt by the BBC to brainwash more gullible viewers.
As for the old phoney Attenborough, what’s this nonsense about “conditions have changed far faster" than he ever imagined when he first started talking about the environment 20 years ago.
Globally, temperatures have barely changed since 1998:

Same with UK temperatures:

No trends in England & Wales rainfall either:

Arctic sea ice extent has been stable since 2005:

Hurricane activity gas dropped in the last twenty years:

Tornado activity in the US has also been in long term decline:
Globally and nationally, the rate of sea level rise is tiny, and has changed little since the 19thC:

And worldwide, food production increases year by year:

The world’s climate is little different now to what it was twenty years ago, and it is absurd for Attenborough to claim otherwise.
As for the programme, you’ll see film of melting glaciers, hurricanes, floods, droughts and wildfires, backed up by Attenborough’s commentary claiming that they prove climate change.
Apparently we are also to be treated with an appearance by the disgraced Michael Mann:
Perhaps the BBC should add a warning at the start:
This programme is a work of fiction, and any resemblance to actual facts is purely coincidental.
