This week BBC broadcast a new 1-hour special on the science of climate change which provides a very good overview of the current state of climate science. The story is told from a British viewpoint but provides an excellent overview of climate change, how we know it exists and how it is changing our earth’s climate.

Here is the blurb from BBC on the video: After one of the hottest years on record, Sir David Attenborough looks at the science of climate change and potential solutions to this global threat. Interviews with some of the world’s leading climate scientists explore recent extreme weather conditions such as unprecedented storms and catastrophic wildfires. They also reveal what dangerous levels of climate change could mean for both human populations and the natural world in the future.
