Climate Change: Ade on the Frontline -

BBC2, Sunday, April 11

This new series follows Ade Adepitan as he travels around the world to witness the devastating effects of climate change while meeting some of the people who have joined the fight against it. It began on the Solomon Islands, where Adepitan was shocked to discover the scant remains of islands that have disappeared due to rising sea levels. Meanwhile, in Australia, he discovered that an increase in droughts and bushfires has encouraged sceptics to change their minds. He also addressed the flying elephant in the room: travelling by plane to make a series about climate change isn’t ideal, but he felt the urgency of his mission outweighed the carbon footprint he was leaving behind. I’m inclined to agree.
