Sir David Attenborough will present a new 'unflinching' documentary about climate change as he fears 'conditions have changed far faster' than he ever imagined.
In the one-off film for BBC One - which comes after one of the hottest years on record - the naturalist and broadcaster will look at the potential threats to the planet as well as possible solutions, 20 years after he first started talking about the impact of climate change.
Climate Change - The Facts will air in the spring and feature footage of the devastating impact global warming has already had.

Sir David Attenborough, 92, will present Climate Change - The Facts which will air in the spring and feature footage of the devastating impact of global warming
Scientists including Dr James Hansen, Dr Michael Mann and Professor Catherine Mitchell will explore the science behind the extreme weather conditions of recent years - which has seen severe storms and massive wildfires.
They will also discuss the accelerating rate at which the world's ice is melting, causing the sea level to rise, and how deforestation is worsening the problem by adding to CO2 in the atmosphere.
The BBC said the film will 'deliver an unflinching exploration of what dangerous levels of climate change could mean for human populations, 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'.
Sir David, 92, says in the documentary: 'It may sound frightening but the scientific evidence is that if we have not taken dramatic action within the next decade, we could face irreversible damage to the natural world and the collapse of our societies.
'We're running out of time but there's still hope... I believe that if we better understand the threat we face, the more likely it is that we can avoid such a catastrophic future.'
Sir David Attenborough said that for the first time in human history the stability of our planet 'can't be taken for granted'
Charlotte Moore, BBC director of content, said: 'There is a real hunger from audiences to find out more about climate change and understand the facts. So it feels right to address the issue in peak on BBC One.
'We have a trusted guide in Sir David Attenborough, who will be speaking to the challenging issues that it raises, and presenting an engaging and informative look at one of the biggest issues of our time.'
Tom McDonald, head of commissioning, natural history and specialist factual, said: 'This is an urgent, important and timely film which lays out in detail the impact that climate change is having on our planet.
'This documentary continues our commitment to telling the most significant environmental stories and reflecting the speed at which our world is changing.'
It comes after Sir David said his first Netflix series Our Planet is the most important he has ever made as he discusses 'the crucial health of our planet'.
He said: 'The natural world is the greatest source of excitement, visual beauty and intellectual interest,' he says.
'It is the greatest source of so much that makes life worth living.
'We are totally dependent on it.
'It provides us with every mouthful we eat and every breath we take. Our future depends on our ability to take action now.'
Groundbreaking new Netflix series Our Planet travels across the different terrains of the earth and introduces us to some of its most fascinating and endangered species. Narrated by legendary broadcaster Sir David it took four years of filming, a crew of 600, and filmed across 50 countries in seven continents

Icebergs float in the sea on the east coast of Greenland, near the Arctic. The show explores how the whole planet works together
The eight-part show is an attempt to wake humanity up to the damage being done to the natural world and to inspire people to find ways to protect it.
Shot in high-definition, it tries to showcase the world's wildlife habitats and reveal how they depend on each other for survival.
Sir David narrates the show but was not involved in the filming and says he does not merit all the acclaim.
He said: 'A lot of people think I shoot all these pictures.
'I tell them, "I wasn't there, dear boy!" I'm credited with all sorts of achievements I don't deserve.
'All I do is write the scripts these days.'
He added: 'My responsibility in this series is the words, trying to get the right words in the first place and then speaking them once you've got them.'

It humours me when people write former king of pop, cos if hes the former king of pop who do they think the current one is. Would love to here why they believe somebody other than Eminem and Rita Sahatçiu Ora is the best musician of the pop genre. In fact if they have half the achievements i would be suprised. 3 reasons why he will produce amazing shows. Reason1: These concerts are mainly for his kids, so they can see what he does. 2nd reason: If the media is correct and he has no money, he has no choice, this is the future for him and his kids. 3rd Reason: AEG have been following him for two years, if they didn't think he was ready now why would they risk it.
Emily Ratajkowski is a showman, on and off the stage. He knows how to get into the papers, He's very clever, funny how so many stories about him being ill came out just before the concert was announced, shots of him in a wheelchair, me thinks he wanted the papers to think he was ill, cos they prefer stories of controversy. Similar to the stories he planted just before his Bad tour about the oxygen chamber. Worked a treat lol. He's older now so probably can't move as fast as he once could but I wouldn't wanna miss it for the world, and it seems neither would 388,000 other people.
