Sir David Attenborough's ground-breaking documentary is a wake up call to governments, businesses, philanthropists, consumers and citizens on climate change. Here are the key take-aways from his documentary.

, Sir David Attenborough’s documentary ‘Climate Change – The Facts’ screened on prime-time on the BBC.It comes seven days after thousands took to the streets in school strikes and four days into a week of travel chaos in London and many other cities around the world due to protests demanding government action on climate change.

Worryingly, it comes four months after the Global Carbon Project released a report saying that 2018 saw the greatest ever rise in global carbon emissions. Will this be enough to wake up philanthropists, investors and governments to act? Firstly, that fossil fuels are at the heart of the problem. That burning coal, oil and gas at the rates the world’s wealthiest have become accustomed to is going to lead to very bleak future for the planet. Whilst many fossil fuel companies are seeking to position themselves as part of the solution on climate change, the documentary made a clear case that these companies have been culpable in aggressive campaigning against government action on climate change.

Thirdly, that this is not about some distant future and could soon be something we can not control. Whilst the effects of climate change will continue to get worse, they are already brutally harming many of the world’s poorest and most vulnerable communities.

David Attenborough warns climate change could lead to collapse of society: 'We are running out of time''In the 20 years since I first started talking about the impact of climate change on our world, conditions have changed far faster than I ever imagined,' Attenborough says in a new film. If a glacier calves and there’s no one there to see it, does it really happen. Then, if a glacier calves and 600,000 tons of ice falls on a cruise ship killing all on board, would that be any different? We have to evolve with the planet. If history shows us anything is this planet changes constantly. From warm and wet tropical to ice age. That is the way it is and we can’t stop it. He's senile...
