The video touches on tough subject matters, including how the historian has been impacted by witnessing climate damage, what can be done to slow the melting of the ice caps, and the true cost of deforestation.

Sir Attenborough concludes: "The time has come now when we can't just have our own selfish interests, when we have to think of other people who are dependent upon what we do.
"That applies to everybody on the planet. We have to work together, we have to have international agreements, we have to work things out."
