Both NBC and CBS focused on the impact of climate change where the oceans reach the land. CBS had Mark Phillips on the North Sea coast of England where sand cliffs are being rapidly eroded. He claimed that the fiercer weather that global warming is causing--Phillips used the "climate change" hook but he offered no evidence that these were no just normal, severe storms--has wiped out 30 seaside properties in just a dozen years. "It is called managed retreat," Phillips remarked, meaning "abject retreat." The town in question was Happisburgh, pronounced "Hayesborough."
NBC had Los Angeles based George Lewis narrate an Our Planet feature of the 25-mile long block that has split from the Wilkins Ice Shelf in western Antarctica. The best part was a clip he ran from Mark Austin, of NBC's British newsgathering partner ITN, 100 miles north of Wilkins last year. Austin was in a speedboat when a wall of ice fell into the sea behind him. See that speedboat turn on the power!
