I love David Attenborough! There's a station called "Green" that shows all manner of stuff about climate change and its effects, and the Discovery channels and National Geographic do, too. So, if it's not being shown here, there are othwr reasons, since climate change gets rammed down our throats regularly.

I guess we can't blame the american people for this, we have to blame the networks who are too scared to show it but if a brilliant man like David Attenborough who has no political alliance as far as I know can't get the message through who can?

I have been watching the frozen planet series on the beeb and have been amazed and totally dumbstruck by the incredible photography and the bizarre and almost unbelievable things that the animals and sea creatures do to survive at our north and south poles( check out todays wolves v bison section) but I have also been told that the last of the series which concearns itself with global warming will not be shown in america because too many people over there don't believe it.

Hm David is one of the hardest working people in the BBC< and has been for decades, he doesnt sit in an office and play with other peoples work, he actually does get out there and into the most inhospitable places int he world.

Frozen Planet, is one of the best series out there, altho anything David has done in the past five years is spectacular admittedly the filming/videography is the BEST and leading edge.
Theres a reason he is a SIR, he has done more for conservancy and awareness of the world and its animals in the UK than anyone, outside of gerald durrell(yeah Im biased Gerald was a legend in his lunchtime).
Thats just plain ignorant, just a producer, sheesh
