Hope I die before I turn into David Attenborough.

The descent of Sir David Attenborough into climate change madness is all the sadder because he played a key role in the production of Kenneth Clarke’s Civilisation nearly sixty years ago.

Attenborough ran through almost every ice scare in the alarmist book. He said humanity must stick to 1.5°C of warming agreed at COP26, “no matter how challenging it may be”. Stopping the climate, a non-linear system of which we have incomplete and, in parts, negligible information is a ridiculous ask. But Attenborough pronounced: “We can do it, we must do it. Then there will be a future for the planet.”

Late onset white guilt?
