PICK OF THE DAY

CLIMATE CHANGE: THE FACTS, 9PM, BBC1

YOU could be forgiven for rushing to the supermarket to stock up on tinned goods before building a shelter in your garden after watching this alarming documentary. David Attenborough delivers an unflinching exploration of what dangerous levels of climate change could mean for the human population, and what is likely to happen if global warming exceeds 1.5 degrees and if major reductions in CO2 emissions are not made in the next decade. The programme hears from a roll call of leading climate scientists (including Matthew Hansen, pictured) and activists. The good news is that it’s not too late to save the planet — but will people listen?
