Charles airs concerns about response to climate change in Arctic documentary
The documentary revisits King Charles's 1975 Canadian Arctic trip and shows glacier retreat, plastic pollution in seabirds, and impacts on indigenous communities over 50 years.
- King Charles III tells ITV1 that he expresses frustration at humanity's climate response and does not want to leave a `ghastly legacy of horror` for future generations, in a documentary airing later this month.
- Long ago, Charles warned in his February 19, 1970 speech about plastic waste, chemicals and air pollution, and since then, the Prince of Wales worked on issues from over-fishing to rainforest threats.
- Field visits reveal the Coronation Glacier has retreated about 0.6 miles in 50 years, and a researcher found plastic in the stomachs of two dead short-tailed shearwaters.
- The King warns of a `tipping point` and says climate damage may be `almost too late to, to rectify`, urging that `to provide that hope you have to take the action` and acting `behind the scenes` to avoid his grandchildren accusing him of inaction.
- The 90-minute documentary mixes Buckingham Palace interview footage with lighter moments, including the King emerging in a bowler hat after a dive and recalling eating raw seal liver.
