Ross Clark had a sceptical article in the Telegraph the other day, so it is good seeing him follow it up with this in the Spectator.
It is behind a paywall, but you can easily subscribe for 5 free articles a month to read it:
It wasn’t so long ago that Sir David Attenborough came across as a calm voice of reason. His much-admired documentaries touched on environmental issues but were not driven by them; they were not morality plays. But something seems to have got into Sir David. He has become a Greta of the third age.
The rot set in last April when he narrated a programme on climate change which used the same, tired old trick Al Gore has used: running a commentary on climate change against pictures of hurricanes, wildfires, droughts and floods, as if to plant in the viewer the idea that all these events were caused by, and therefore wouldn’t have happened without, climate change.
Clark’s main argument is that Attenborough seems to believe we are helpless in the face of climate change. In reality there are all sorts of things human civilisation can do to mitigate change, climate or otherwise, just as it has managed to do for aeons.
Well worth a read.
It is certainly encouraging to see the beginnings of a fightback against the ultra alarmism propagated the Gretas and Attenboroughs, and enabled by the likes of the BBC.
