Why Watch This

Coming from Attenborough rather than an activist or celebrity gives this a different register than most climate docs — it's presented as settled science rather than argument, with interviews built around specific, checkable evidence: ice core data, extreme weather trends, extinction rates.

If Climate Change: The Facts' evidence-led approach appealed, Before the Flood covers similar ground with a more personal, journey-driven structure.
