Truth About Climate Change, The

Alternative title
Are Changing Planet Earth?/ Can we Save Planet Earth?
Synopsis
A two-part television documentary presented by Sir David Attenborough who explores just how far climate change is altering our planet, from drought-stricken rainforest to declining polar bears, from flooded homes to bleached coral. He searches for the evidence that it is our daily activities which are radically changing the climate, leaving the future of Earth largely up to us. In the second part he looks ahead to find out what needs to be done to save Planet Earth from the worst impact of global warming and discovers what could happen to the planet once a ‘tipping point’ of carbon emissions is reached. He also discusses the solutions we can all adopt to prevent catastrophic change
