SIR DAVID ATTENBOROUGH has travelled to every continent for a tear-jerking new series that reveals the impact of global warming on wildlife.
Among heartbreaking scenes in Seven Worlds, One Planet are penguins and baby albatrosses perishing, plus a mum abandoning her baby seal in a blizzard, leaving it to die.

The 93-year-old presenter starts his journey at the foot of the globe, in Antarctica, 98 per cent of which is covered in ice and where winds reach 70mph.
David describes it as, “the harshest continent of them all”.
The seven-part BBC1 series, which starts next Sunday, also sees the legendary presenter head to Kenya and Iceland.
David says he has been warning about the dangers of climate change for years and finally he is being taken seriously.

He explains: “It is extraordinary. At the time people thought we were cranks but suddenly, after Blue Planet II, you hit the right note.”
He adds: “I’m thrilled that we’re about to share this incredible series with the world.
“Seven Worlds, One Planet celebrates the variety of life on our planet while also shining a spotlight on its challenges.”
A team of more than 1,500 people were involved in the mammoth shoot that visited an incredible 41 countries.
