Attenborough at 99 delivers 'greatest message he's ever told'

https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/cn0wjxg0ex1o

Sir David Attenborough is launching what he says is one of the most important films of his career as he enters his hundredth year.

He believes his new, cinema-length film Ocean could play a decisive role in saving biodiversity and protecting the planet from climate change.
(snip)

The ocean is the planet's support system and humanity's greatest ally against climate catastrophe, the film argues. It shows how the world's oceans are at a crossroads.

A blue carpet will be rolled out at the film's premiere tonight at the Royal Festival Hall.

The film documents how the state of the world's oceans and our understanding of how they function have changed in the course of Sir David's lifetime.

I've wondered how oceans have changed with industrialization and climate change. We hear bits and pieces but this looks like a comprehensive survey of those changes.
