    I was able to watch the nature documentary “David Attenborough: A Life on Our Planet” last night hoping for some beautiful nature visuals and I got that. The movie was made in 2020 and offers a nightmare future and then a more optimistic future of working with nature. Knowing the work of the next six years to maximize pollution and habitat loss and crack down on science made for grim viewing. Hopefully we get back on track with the positive vision. #climate #documentary #DavidAttenborough
