https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/cn0wjxg0ex1oSir 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.

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.

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.

The way he presented those little adorable fuzzy balls cemented my love for all his shows..
