This isn't a perfect example, but back in 2008 the series "Life After People" had both UK and US narration for the same show, which gives an interesting example of how different a tone can be set just by the soundtrack - Here's the first minute in each language of S02E07.

I was talking to somebody a few days ago about how "The Curse of Oak Island" would be an entirely different show in the UK - Each season would be cut down to 2 or 3 episodes, there would be much more emphasis on the archaeology and the technology, and the narration wouldn't be anything like as dramatic and irritating.

Since 2019, 22 pieces of new legislation have been introduced in countries including Australia, Brazil, France, Germany, India, Norway, Peru, Philippines, Russia, South Africa, Turkey, Uganda, United Kingdom, and the United States to limit climate protests.

This is state capture by the fossil fuel industry.

ABC News · Australia leads the world in arresting climate and environment protestersBy Gareth Hutchens

"The impacts of the food trade on the planet are a source of concern as well. Exporting countries often pay a heavy environmental toll to meet foreign demand. In Brazil, huge swaths of the Amazon rainforest and Cerrado savanna have been lost to pastures and fields that produce beef and soybeans...Livestock, fertilizers, transport, and the conversion of forest to fields together account for one-third of global carbon emissions."
