Hello everyone and welcome to Amunpur. Tonight we're bringing you some of our

favorite interviews around climate, the existential challenge of our time. Here's what's coming up. A conversation

with Premier Television Naturalist David Attenborough, who's documented profound

changes in our environment for seven decades.

Also ahead, the American politician who put climate change at the top of the agenda.

Walter Isakson speaks with former US Vice President Al Gore.

Plus, filmmaker Dan Edge documents the making of a climate cover-up

in his frontline series The Power of Big Oil.

And finally, how musical artist Carol King went from natural woman to natural activist. Welcome to the program everyone. I'm Christina Manpur in London.

The year 2022 will be remembered for a relentless torrent of climate mega disasters.

In Pakistan, intense rain and unusually high heat

led to devastating floods killing more than 1500 people. In China, a one-two punch prolonged drought followed by historic flooding,

leaving hundreds of thousands displaced.

And in the United States, Hurricane Ian decimated the Florida coast with losses estimated at more

than 50 billion dollars.

But in the face of these compounding challenges, today we celebrate those who refuse to stand idly by. And we begin

with Sir David Attenborough, the great naturalist and conservationist who has

inspired generations to love the earth as he does.

More than half a century after his first production,

the 96-year-old is still enlightening us,

most recently with the BBC series Frozen Planet 2. Take a look.
