Guest essay by Eric Worrall
David Attenborough’s latest docu-series appears to celebrate how Covid has destroyed African safari tourism, and allowing wild animals to infest abandoned human structures, and how the clear air now lets people see the Himalayas, thanks to the brutal shutdown of factories which once employed poor people in India.
…
“For example, there was a game lodge in South Africa, and when the guests started coming, believe it or not, a leopard suddenly appeared and started strolling through this lovey safari lodge, and the cameraman taking the picture – what do you do if a leopard suddenly appears out of a corridor? And good luck to him, he carried on filming”.
…
What do you hope viewers will get out of it? …
That human beings, with the best will in the world, cannot help but restrict the natural world. That’s what we are doing, we are pushing it aside, even the most considerate of us. That’s almost inevitable to some degree. But let us suddenly realise that we are intruders, that we are latecomers, and that the natural world would by and large do much better if we weren’t there at all.

How did our society reach the point where such misanthropy is considered acceptable?
The last thing people reeling from the economic fallout of harsh Covid lockdowns need is mockery from the likes of Attenborough.
That nice view of the Himalayas celebrated in the interview with Attenborough? A nice view is not worth the price, if that price is that because of the factory Covid shutdowns, some people who used to work in those factories now struggle to put food on the table to feed their families.
I’m actually looking forward to his imminent demise – hopefully he has a covid vaccine soon
Prat comment. Grow up.
Whenever I accidentally run across yet another Climate-Porn Piece by David Attenborough, I realize again that he is an Intruder in the World of Sanity.
Attenborough has lived his life and now can be as big a hypocrite as he wishes. Having said that, David it not to late to end hypocrisy and do the right thing for a man of your beliefs.
Yeah, well the thrill is gone.
David Attenborough is 94 years old. With any luck he will called home before he does too much more damage.
These lefties that remain childless are the real definition of a parasite on mother nature.
1st priority of nature is to reproduce, and if you dont the resources you use your whole life are wasted resources as far as she is concerned, a fruitless waste.
Gee thanks a million. I don’t have children and I have never considered myself to be a ‘parasite’ – frankly that is as stupid an attitude as the one given in the article by Attenborough. Seems that stupidity abounds.
Yep, the left is chock full-O-stupid.
I’m sure the unemployed Indians were hugely grateful to be able to see the Himalayas with their starving children.
Like the Beatles, the Attenboroughs are dying in the wrong order.
David is utterly consumed with self-loathing-and money
“Sir David Attenborough has urged people to remember their impact on the natural world”
I’d love to know how he squares the hypocrisy in that statement. A man that has spent his life clocking up air miles around the planet, and personally impacting the natural world more than most of us put together.
So now there are no tourists in Africa David, who’s paying the animal protection bills?
https://kwcakenya.com/conservancies/
Extract:
In Kenya today, conservancies are a recognised land use under the Wildlife Act of 2013, making them an attractive land use option for communities and land owners as they offer improved land and resource rights and access to incentives.
In the Maasai Mara, for example, 15 conservancies protect over 450,000 acres of a critical habitat for the great Serengeti-Mara wildebeest migration. This has seen the lion population double over the last decade and 3,000 household earn more than $4 million annually from tourism.
A similar success story is unveiling along the Coastal Region of Kenya where local communities are protecting endangered animals such as the hirola antelope, resulting in the doubling of the population of the endangered hirola in just three years (from 48 in 2012 to 97 in 2015).
Sorry, but the man has become a radicalised eco nut and is in the process of destroying his legacy.
This neo-malthusian hypocrite is as ignorant as a flat earther,
but unlike flat earthers, he is actually dangerous because his nonsense is mediatized by CAGW propagantists as the BBC.
The old Malthusian must be welcoming his own impending demise. What a sad look-back on your own life.
So the old dolt has finally flipped his lid entirely.
He’s an anti-humanist directly descended from the idiot monster Malthus, who’s been proven wrong this past 222 years.
He’s preaching for a world without cathedrals, art or music.
He’s advocating for a planet without children, the old fool.
PhD nuclear engineer Robert Zubrin deals with this nonsense in his book Merchants Of Despair.
I used to so look forward to his programs when I was young, now I can’t look at him without contempt.

Attenborough is a prostitute. Something the late David Bellamy never was.
Let’s see him put his money where his mouth is. You go first, David.
Attenbollocks brings into question the origins of Mankind.
The two alternatives we are fed are creationism or Darwinism.
The third is alien interference with Homo Erectus to eventually produce Homo Sapiens.
Well worth a read is genius journalist Jim Marrs, RIP, Our Occulted History.
Were humans created as a slave race to mine for gold for their Anunnaki masters? Is the Moon a hollowed out spaceship? From ancient Sumerian clay tablets to modern NASA scientists.
His Alien Agenda is also a great read.
JD.
Joachim Hagopian also deals with the Anunnaki, but as a sub-theme.
The main thrust of his series of 5 books is how the 1%s use child abuse as a blackmail tool to control politicians etc: Pedophilia & Empire.

Surely the quickest way to get rid of humans is to keep pumping out CO2 and let the climate emergency happen as fast as possible. /sarc
Attenborough attacked for animal ‘soap operas’.

As a soldier in the battle to save life on Earth from annihilation due to CO2 loss, I am deeply offended that this idiot is given the airtime to spew his self loathing propaganda! Apparently he slept through his geology courses, or hasn’t kept up with more recent studies that show our modern warming to be mild compared to other recent warm periods, and our CO2 level to still be dangerously low when one considers the NATURAL processes that continue to remove the gas of life from our atmosphere!
It takes a special kind of idiot to create a problem out of thin air! Making unconscious attempts to save all life should be celebrated as a lucky choice, and one that needs to be reinforced! Only a nihilist of questionable intelligence and sanity would decry mankind’s effects on the natural world! Without human intervention Earth will soon become a planet that only a geologist could love!
David, why don’t you and your whole brood take a long walk off a short pier!
“David, why don’t you and your whole brood take a long walk off a short pier!”
Could be done as part of a ‘Pier Revue’ (:-))
“That human beings, with the best will in the world, cannot help but restrict the natural world.”
Humanity is also of the natural world. What are we if we are not?
So Mr Rotten-borough if you know so much about the Natural World then the rest of the Primates must also be intruders. Disgusting old Oxbridge fart who’s degree in Earth Sciences must equate in someway to a Diploma in Meeeja studies why not vacate yourself from such an onerous position of being an intruder on the Planet soon as you can luvee.
He is an idiot. The urban fox population in the UK is about 20 times as dense as in the wild.
The bat population would be a tiny fraction were it not for our houses, there are no where near as many caves of course.
Man is part of nature, he cant help but be, and nature lives in us, and around us, we are nature, all of it, the entire tree of life.
Man wasnt thrown out of the garden of Eden, he never left it. Man is not guilty, there is no original sin. Attenborough is a fool, and clearly exposes how environmentalism is a religion based on Christian creationism.
Attenborough is an early advocate of forced human extinction, yet he has not taken that option himself. Hypocrite.
Rain, snow and fog block the view of those creatures with vision that are looking for food and water or escaping bad weather or other natural disasters. Or escaping being eaten. It is doubtful any dinosaurs thought what a beautiful view.
Never could stand the over-modulated voice of Attenborough.
Here is a fascinating talk about the evolution of the big brain in in the human lineage. The problem is how it got started, given the gross energy requirement, and I think Jess Thompson has a really new and plausible theory.
Thanks for that link, Jess Thompson knows her stuff & speaks well
I wonder if the gazelle that cheetah had for lunch thought the natural world was as perfect as David Attenborough does. and that humans shouldn’t have “intruded” and managed it.
No the gazelle thought “if there’s any justice I’ll come back as a virus that k!lls cheetahs”
I have a huge problem with the stunning arrogance of such people as the lying David A. These types all have this incredible self righteousness to be so sure to inform the rest of us how we must live (or not live). That they back it up with lie after lie about the environment should be enough to tell everyone the kind of evil we are dealing with.
