For many years, wildlife film-making has presented a pristine living world. In 1995 I spent several months with a producer, developing a novel and imaginative proposal for an environmental series. At last, in 2000, he presented an environmental series: State of the Planet. Six years later he made another environmental series, The Truth About Climate Change. I have always been entranced by Attenborough’s wildlife programmes, but astonished by his consistent failure to mount a coherent, truthful and effective defence of the living world he loves.
