SIR DAVID ATTENBOROUGH TELLS BBC TO FUCK OFF
Great! So now he’s fucking up Netflix with his smarmy “global warming” “climate change” pedantry.
These comments say it better:
— Oh David David David, the bitter sweet irony is ringing in my ears! It is almost certain on two points that money, the want of and lack of it is involved. On the one hand Attenborough has chosen to work with Netflix (for what other reason other than money/greed would he abandon the BBC), and on the other hand the potential audience will be irrefutably reduced, which as a consequence will result in less people watching his sham ‘moral crusade! Because directly or indirectly it is human greed that is driving the pollution of our “Blue Planet”, and the hypocrite that is Attenborough is putting his pocket before the health of his “Beloved” Earth! As I say, hypocrite.
— Sounds like more watermelon propaganda (green on the outside,red on the inside). It becomes tiresome to have the human race described as a cancer blighting the planet constantly.
— More lecturing by the man with probably one of the largest carbon footprints of any single individual.
The veteran presenter pleaded with people to ‘pay attention’ while there is ‘still time’ to save the natural world.
The BBC stalwart, 92, has moved to streaming giant Netflix for a blockbuster series in a bid to propel the world into action.
More than 600 members of crew captured 3,500 days of filming across 50 countries to create Our Planet – an ‘ambitious’ eight-part series.
Sir David, who narrates the programme, said the show will ‘take viewers on a spectacular journey of discovery showcasing the beauty and fragility of our natural world’.
Speaking at WWF’s State of the Planet Address last night, he warned: ‘Today we have become the greatest threat to the health of our home, but there’s still time for us to address the challenges we’ve created, if we act now. We need the world to pay attention.
Sir David, who has worked with the BBC for more than 60 years, campaigned for humans to cut back on plastic use in Blue Planet.
And his upcoming series Dynasties, which starts on BBC One on Sunday, warns that the animal kingdom is under threat due to a lack of space.
Our Planet, which is a joint venture from the creators of Planet Earth, WWF and Netflix, will premiere on April 5 2019 in more than 190 countries. Director Alastair Fothergill, who was behind the hit Planet Earth and Blue Planet natural history series on the BBC, said that the show is their ‘most ambitious endeavour to date’.
He said: ‘We hope it will inspire and delight hundreds of millions of people across the world so they can understand our planet, and the environmental threat it faces, as never before.
‘By launching on Netflix at the same time all over the world, this series will enable people to connect to and understand the shared responsibility we all have. We are genuinely all in this together.’
Colin Butfield, executive director of WWF UK and executive producer of Our Planet, added: ‘We’re the first generation to know the full impact of what we’re doing to our planet, and the last that has the chance to do anything about it.
‘We’re at a unique moment in our history where we have the chance to put things right and start on the path towards a better future.
‘Our Planet will showcase the wonders of our world at the critical time when we need global action to protect it.’
