With the advent of 4k and slomo video the nature series, including Frozen Planet were truly wonderful.
Then, gradually, the emphasis shifted to a very blunt message of global warming/climate change. When I watched these later/most recent series, David "preached" environmental change. All I craved for was very high quality, wonderful video footage of our Planet......but that isn't what I got. What I did get was David's personal agenda and frankly his own opinion. I was paying for the luxury of him putting across his personal point of view.
Not good or fair to a license paying nature lover, with some very high tech and costly viewing hardware.
You think global warming/climate change (and related issues) is nothing more than David Attenborough's "personal point of view"?
Do you doubt David Attenborough is also a genuine "nature lover"? Such that the great changes he has already seen in nature over his life (remember his age), and is seeing, causes him genuine concern. Why would any real "nature lover" not be similarly concerned?
Whatever David Attenborough's views on climate change, he would be required to push the party line, which is currently to blame it for everything.
Look what happened to David Bellamy when he pushed back:

And the section 'Views on global warming'.
