Does anyone else get annoyed when David Attenborough goes on about the climate was he bothered about it when he was travelling all over the world with his film crew making animal programs or was he more bothered about the money he was paid he has a bigger carbon footprint then most of us will ever have

Maybe education on climate change has made him a changed man? Did carbon footprints exist when he started out?

"Maybe education on climate change has made him a changed man? Did carbon footprints exist when he started out? "

In previous threads it was deemed that people were to be held to account for everything that they did & said in their lives, no matter how long ago, or if they had changed since.

Using that doctrine, he’s guilty through and through.

Yes ..and he has the cheek to pontificate about it whilst living in a big mansion in Richmond

Not really. He is a national or should I say global treasure. A pioneer in his field. He started long time before people were talking about climate change. He has educated generations and still does. He could have retired long time ago but he is still passionate. I have big respect of him. If it was not for him, maybe the wild animals and the environment in general would not have got the attention they have.

Well, on the scale of polluters he's the smallest of small fry compared to the invidious parasites who fly all around the world in their private jets.

If his past and present travels serve to educate people about the natural world and current threats to it then good on him - it's definitely needed judging by how many still haven't woken up to the extent of the threat to our environment... and who better?

Could it be that this thread is more a negative reaction to his stance than anything else?.. I suspect so.

Attenborough should be sacked. The BBC Charter requires the BBC to be impartial.

Attenborough just ignores that and acts as a propagandist. He should be pushed out

No, not in the slightest. It’s a minuscule impact for the sake of providing decades of education and information.

They're not really telling you how to live your life. They're explaining that we're at a crisis point and giving suggestions as to how we can make a difference. They're not telling you to do them. It's still your choice.

This almost reminds me Diana Fossey , she loved the cameras and public atention and not everything she has done was correct but we all love her not only for her drastic cruel and sad end but because she left behind a legacy that we value today and same with Davi Attenborough , he done things he shouldn't but he has been an wake up for all entire world

When had he told you specifically how to live your life?

Are you sure he doesn't share how he lives his life and explain why he thinks that's best, for example gives his reasons for eating a plant based diet. That doesn't mean that he is telling you how to live your life.

Why are you so triggered by Lewis Hamilton?

Good question. It makes me wonder that Marcus Rashford and Lewis Hamilton might have something in common... can't quite put my finger on it though.

I love Attenborough, but there have been a couple of times where I think if he was being honest in his monologues he'd say "I've spent my life watching humans fucking up the animal world I love and I want 80‰ of you to die so the planet can get back to health"

Years back global warming was not known about anyhow. He has helped chronicle a world that may well be largely gone in 50 years.

Explain how you love the root cause of what you’re criticising.

Had he not been making the programmes he did, he wouldn’t have travelled. Yet you denounce the travel that was necessary to deliver an outcome you’ve expressed favour for.

Some of us don't need educated by him but it's something natural and lovely to see someone is trying to make others aware.

Who cares, it's still the truth.

I think it's immature to reject something just because the delivery is not palatable or done by someone that doesn't suit.

David Attenborough is pretty much the only "celebrity" I will mourn the passing of, when the time comes. He is not "just" a TV presenter, he is a scientist. He has made, through his TV programme trips, extensive discoveries of hitherto unknown or unobserved species and has informed scientific developments to PROTECT nature.

He was also instrumental in the development of television itself, having held the position of controller of BBC2, where his work informed the more widespread use of colour filming, and he was also director of programming for the BBC.

His legacy is far more wide reaching than natural history and is quite frankly way beyond any other "celebrity" I can think of.

Totally agree and only person I know that has been extremely passionate about his work to give the wider population an in-depth analysis of things that would be impossible to know.

I would wholeheartedly agree with everything you said here. I consider him a national treasure and I love his voice, it is just so soothing when he brings home his different nature programmes.

Understand, fair point. When I think of my parents' generation they did ,too. Fly all over the place without worrying too much but at the same time they are "green" in many other ways.

Point taken.

Attenborough has single handedly done more to change global views and policy on climate than anyone of us ever has or will. His life’s work has been dedicated to it. Your comments are an insult.

He has educated generations and still does. He could have retired long time ago but he is still passionate. I have big respect of him. If it was not for him, maybe the wild animals and the environment in general would not have got the attention they have."

You know I could quite literally not give a flying flamingo if this were about his political views. He uses the platforms he as access to, uses his tremendous energy to make people understand there is not plan B. This is not about some little local project, this is about the world we leave to our children and grandchildren.

Yes, I d say he should use whatever he can to promote the awareness campaign.

Do you actually think him pointing out that in his lifetime 50% of the world's species have died out is politics? Seriously? Don't you have young family? Are you not concerned what world they will inherit? Most of it is on fire atm. Is that a political view too?

Government ministers and MPs are allowed to talk politics. It's why we elect them ..and we can vote them out if we don't agree with their views.

Attenborough is in a different position

I am talking about abusing power....

Besides, Attenborough's mission to save the planet is a objective that in urgency supersedes most arguments. I kind of think (almost) anything goes there.

You agree with Attenborough's political views and seem to think it is okay, therefore, for him to breach the BBC Charter.

What if he used his position to propagate views you don't like?

Do you actually think him pointing out that in his lifetime 50% of the world's species have died out is politics? Seriously? Don't you have young family? Are you not concerned what world they will inherit? Most of it is on fire atm. Is that a political view too? "

Exactly! Campaigning about the environment and global climate change is not and should not be political. It's one of those issues that should transcend petty politics but BECAUSE we are consumed by stupid political posturing, environmental awareness, climate change etc has been politicised. Species going extinct couldn't give a shit if you are a Conservative, Liberal, Green, Monster Raving Loony or frankly, Taliban etc. Nor should someone's brand of politics have influence over the extent to which they work for a better environment for all.

"I dont know if it it true or not but I have heard it said that David Attenborough has seen more of the world than anyone else in history, and also likely to have seen more of the world than anyone else in the future too!!

Except perhaps the three musketeers who went into space recently? "

Maybe poor wording on my part maybe I should of said 'visited' rather than 'seen' as obviously anyone who has looked at Earth from space would of seen a great majority, if not all, if it

You know I could quite literally not give a flying flamingo if this were about his political views. He uses the platforms he as access to, uses his tremendous energy to make people understand there is not plan B. This is not about some little local project, this is about the world we leave to our children and grandchildren.

Yes, I d say he should use whatever he can to promote the awareness campaign. "

What you call an "awareness campaign" is a political campaign. What's the difference?

What if he misused his position to campaign for political views you didn't like? Would you support that?

No, we have to have rules applied equally to everyone

Of course it is politics. Some people take a different view...that climate change is BS.

What if a TV presenter broke the Charter to campaign for views you didn't like?

Would you approve of that?

Manmade climate change isn't an opinion, it is scientific fact. If you believe something else, it isn't an opinion that is entitled to equal validity because it ignores scientific evidence.

His work on educating people about the preciousness of the planet and all living things certainly outweigh any carbon emissions (which I would imagine he is careful to offset) plus most of his work in the last ten years has been from a little padded booth because it is just voice over work.

Disagreeing with something is not highly contentious when 98.5% of scientists that have studied all data agree. That's a much higher percentage than the number of Americans that think the earth is much older than 6000 years. Does that mean that that is contentious?

No. Global heating is not something where uncertainty of its existence and cause exists. The BBC officially changed its stance on this many years ago, as it does not need to, nor have a policy of, providing a platform for deniers, where no evidence supports them. It is fair and balanced to communicate the levels certainty that exists within all of the relevant areas of scientific expertise and evidence. It may be contentious to some oil companies but that's about it. We've moved on from darker days, when we were hoodwinked, with shills subverting public opinion via the media.

It makes it none the less urgent that major, substantial changes are needed to limit the damage to our world. We have to gain buy-in and work collaboratively, not point fingers, whilst giving up, throwing away the most important time to do something, which is now.

Now if you shift that carbon emission into the end user of what is being produced that shifts the numbers significantly.

Either way, looking at a mountain and saying "Getting to the top would be great, but the last bit is going to be hard so let's not take the first step" is defeatism

"Does anyone else get annoyed when David Attenborough goes on about the climate was he bothered about it when he was travelling all over the world with his film crew making animal programs or was he more bothered about the money he was paid he has a bigger carbon footprint then most of us will ever have"

No. Bringing awareness the way he has about nature to the world has easily outweighed the carbon footprint he has created. We have all travelled across the world knowing it’s bad for the world and done zero for the actual world as a whole. He gets a pass on it for the work he’s done. None of us do. So, no. Not at all.

I disagree. The "evidence" at the time fitted in with the flat model. If you don't travel far, the world is flat enough.

Continuing to support a flat world theory when there is new evidence is bad science. Scientists change their opinions when the evidence changes.

On climate change... I've not read enough about this. It's a hugely complex subject. I suspect their is some evidence supporting all sides. There usually is in complex matters. The trouble I find with many science issues is the minority arent well versed in scientific debate and so look like they lack credibility. That doesn't mean they are wrong per se. But makes it hard to give a platform to.
