5. Chasing Ice
IMDb Rating: 7.8
You may recognize Chasing Ice, the number five on our list of best science documentaries on YouTube from our list of nature documentaries, but it is worth recommending in terms of science documentaries as well. The documentary is made by James Balog, who previously didn’t believe in climate change, but changed his mind after visiting icy parts of the planet and seeing the effects of climate change. Chasing Ice is his attempt to show the truth to the wider audience.
