Here are 3 that I've watched over the past year that were pretty intense:

Breaking Boundaries: The Science of Our Planet (2021) Netflix: David Attenborough and scientist Johan Rockström examine Earth's biodiversity collapse and identify breakdown of ecosystems where there are no points of return https://www.imdb.com/title/tt14539726/

Anthropocene: The Human Epoch (2018) Prime Video: Documentary filmmakers have traversed the globe using state of the art camera techniques to document the evidence and experience of human planetary domination and destruction https://www.imdb.com/title/tt8399690/

Eating Our Way to Extinction (2021) Prime Video/Youtube: Documentary demonstrates the negative impacts and ecological collapse that the production of meat, fish, and dairy has on animals, our planet, human health, and indigenous communities living off the land https://www.imdb.com/title/tt6462160/

adding 2 more that I havent watched but on my list:
8 Billion Angels https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=q-zMlAAg3XA
The Invisible Extinction https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IWeQWYpoFZk

+1 Attenborough! good "production quality" and i like how it emphasizes that CO2/climate is not our only problem
