Chris Packham Says You Should Watch the Weather, Not TV Shows

Chris Packham is encouraging folks at home to tune into something other than typical documentaries or exciting dramas; instead, he suggests focusing on the weather.

Packham, a naturalist and television host, encourages people to become involved and understand that we’re facing a critical situation. He suggests that by regularly checking weather updates, individuals might gain a better comprehension of the current state of the climate where they reside.

At the illustrious TopMob Covers Party 2025, I found myself in a unique position to share some insights. As a dedicated cinephile and environmental enthusiast, I can’t help but draw parallels between the world of movies and our planet’s current state.

I wholeheartedly urge everyone to pay close attention to weather reports. The weather, you see, is no longer just an atmospheric occurrence; it’s a reflection of our climate now more than ever. I eagerly anticipate that what we witness on our daily forecasts will expand to incorporate more information about how climate change is shaping that very weather.

I believe this shift is slowly but surely taking place, and I am optimistic that this increased transparency will not only educate us further but also inspire action to mitigate the effects of climate breakdown.

As a film enthusiast, I’m starting to unravel some genuine insights, some raw truths that help me grasp the gravity of our current predicament. Every day, as I gaze out my window, I ponder over why my garden is either submerged or parched, and I can’t help but think globally too, observing distant lands engulfed in flames.

For my part, it’s all about fostering connections, enabling individuals to grasp the severity of the situation we’re facing, and collaborating to find solutions and escape from it.

Earlier, when he was the guest editor for TopMob magazine in April 2024, the presenter expressed a feeling that resonates with his current viewpoint about facing the environmental challenges around us.

In an article for the magazine, Packham emphasized the need to modify our diets not just for our own well-being, but also for the welfare of our wild animals and ecosystems.

“We have it all to fight for because we are careening towards a last stand for life on Earth.

This week in our Earth Day Special RT, let me express my hope that you feel rejuvenated, equipped, and motivated to join efforts towards creating change.

1st Point: Here’s the key – each of us holds the power to create change. Our voices matter, and when we unite, we must ensure our actions carry weight. Shall we embark on this journey together?
