.....There are times when climate propaganda –
for this is what this was – calls to mind the apocalyptic prophets of
the Middle Ages, who led popular movements by preaching that the sins of
human beings were so great that they could only be redeemed by
suffering, in order to create a paradise on earth. Perhaps
this is how Attenborough, nature journalism’s Methuselah, sees himself.
But climate change is too important to be handled in this manner. It
needs rational, well-informed debate. Too often, cheered on by the
eco-zealots of Extinction Rebellion, the BBC is intent on encouraging
quite the opposite."
