Veteran Nature Program presenter David Attenborough has urged business and political leaders at Davos to provide practical solutions for unlimited clean energy, to prevent climate catastrophe.
‘We need a plan’: Attenborough urges Davos leaders to act on climate change
…
“If people can truly understand what is at stake, I believe that they will give permission to business and governments to get on with the practical solutions. And as a species, we are expert problem solvers.
“But we haven’t yet applied ourselves to this problem with the focus that it requires.
The Blue Planet and Dynasties narrator said: “We can create a world with clean air and water, unlimited energy and fish stocks that will sustain us well into the future. But to do that, we need a plan.”

I have to say I fully endorse David Attenborough’s call for unlimited energy, I would like to have access to unlimited clean energy as well. If only the engineers would get on with it and build the magic boxes, it’s not like we haven’t repeatedly asked, pleaded and demanded that they stop messing about and come up with a solution.
In the 1970’s he stated there was an ice age on it’s way. I used to admire his documentaries but now they are all laden with climate change claptrap I turn off. And we now know he faked many scenes.
Ahh, David Attenborough. The BBC’s most projected shrill and favourite ancient communicator of propaganda.
He is famous for being famous and as a voice over of world class film sequences of natural wonders. His personal knowledge is not in doubt, it is well known for being about average.
His recent declaration that the people of Great Britain should not have been asked to decide whether they wished to stay in or leave the EU, because the people do not possess the necessary knowledge to make such a decision.
He advised, “those decisions should be left to the professionals who know best, particularly the politicians”.
I am sure he had Diane Abbott, David Lammy, Jeremy Corbyn, and John Macdonald in mind when he declared his faith in the wisdom of politicians.
The fact Attenborough has been rolled out twice in the past few weeks to present the case for Climate Change action, tells us the alarmists are now very concerned. Not concerned about the climate, though, oh no. They are concerned and have finally realised, the public do not believe their lies. The urgency being injected into the now daily demand for policies to reduce CO2 along with CO2 tax harmonisation programmes across the entire world, leads me to conclude they are panicking.
China has turned its back on the nonsense politics of the alarmists.
Y’know that US guy, Bill Nye, the science guy.
Meet his UK brother.
Here how the elitists who are there telling us what to do got to Davos:

It must be really hard to think the natural world is on the brink…even worse to think you’ve got ideas to save it, and nobody is listening.
Heck, at Davos I’m sure they’re already getting unlimited shrimp cocktail, so unlimited energy is a snap!

Damn those Engineers!!!!
Burn them!!!!

A lifetime to create a reputation as a naturalist and TV presenter. A few short years to destroy it all by surrendering his mind to the green collective.
Sad how old age destroys physical and mental acuity. It also creates an urgency to leave some kind of legacy; to say something important, remain relevant and not go gentle into that good night.
I wonder how they power the network of BBC transmitters?
DAB is power hungry & Digital TV requires denser infrastructure.
Analogue which they have been trying to turn off for decades,- FM stereo, Medium & long wave.
The BBC IT & Server farm.
Let those hypocrites power it all with wind farms and solar power and see how long the blabla & propaganda stays on air!
The simple, hard fact is that clean energy funding goes mostly into wind and solar, with only peanuts to the likes of fusion, geothermal, hydro or LFTR. Expenditure on wind and solar over the last decade has exceeded $200 billion a year, and all we have to show for that is 0.9% of world energy transitioned. By simple arithmetic we have the choice of waiting a thousand years for the magic 100% clean energy, or else spending around $200 trillion to get the job done sooner.
$200 trillion is ten times the USA’s GDP.
These inconvenient facts are available on ourworldindata.org and a number of other reputable sites. They totally contradict the claims of the wind and solar lobby to the effect that these technologies are cheap to implement. They are not. They are ridiculously expensive.
Fusion may be difficult but I doubt if it is impossible. If the futile, pointless wind and solar projects were stopped and even just the the current world spend of $200 billion a year made available, how long would it take to perfect it? (ITER will cost less than a tenth of that)
The challenge with fusion is twofold: mass and containment. The fuel load needs to be of sufficient mass to create a self-sustaining reaction, else you’ll never turn an energy profit. And it obviously needs to be kept stable and contained. But containment becomes harder as the mass of the fuel load increases.
must be a divine apparition, a god-like apparition, this David Attenborough:
speaks of itself in the “majestatis pluralis” “We” “can create a new world”:
The Blue Planet and Dynasties narrator said, “We can create a world with clean air and water, unlimited energy and fish stocks.”
We, the creator.
Bow to Attenborough!
Here’s their clean energy promise in a nutshell-

and for the first time South Australia fired up their political panic stations diesel generators to help out. Burning diesel trumps coal for their dreaded CO2 emissions apparently.
