Briefing by Sir David Attenborough, English broadcaster and natural historian, on the Maintenance of international peace and security: Climate and Security, during the Security Council Open VTC.
@@julianbrock6198 What is the logic behind this? He's documented nature for most of his life and he now wants to help preserving it. You really thing a man in his age would do it only for the money? Keep in mind he's been closer to nature and the world's creatures than you ever had.
When we loose this treasure there needs to be a day of mourning, and that day to be for ever more marked as a public holiday, that people spend it contributing to conservation in our communities. Sir David Attenborough day! All in favour?
@TryllaTröllMaistre Fictitious Fables of Europa start paying attention to what you read. Of course I'm not looking forward to becoming 90+. So if you were to turn 94 you would rather be senile and in terrible shape?
So many comments trying to deflect attention from what was said in the video by discussing his appearance or age. I heard his message loud and clear; how about you?
One earth! Supporting billions of species including us and only a handful of you control earths destiny! Take a deep breath eveybody!!! Upmost respect to David Attenborough, trying his best to get through to the Numb👀
Thanks for all the love and support. I am blown away by the love from you all. I know these are hard times but with love and faith we shall all see the light again 🥰❤️❤️. Love you
Que lucidez... ... Sempre um grande Professor... ... Minha geração foi privilegiada por ter professores como David Attenborough, Carl Sagan, Jacques Yves Cousteau e John Kennedy Galbraith... ... ... ...
A plague of greed, ignorance, apathy and inexcusable governance = making the same mistake over and over, whilst each time expecting a different result. Much admiration for your lifetime of amazing work, showcasing the beauty and struggles of wildlife, environment and humanity. Thank you David. However, your plea will fall upon the same deaf ears that have taken us from Eden, and delivered us into this pit of looming despair. Until we change the system and structure of government, and those leaders who profit from within it, we may as well keep reading the first paragraph here, ad infinitum...
Sir David Attenborough OM GCMG CH CVO CBE FRS FRSB FRSAFLS FZS FSA FRSGS Sir David Attenborough has to be the most significant Presenter, Natural Historian and Global Conservationist we (as a Nation) have ever had, till date. A National Treasure and profound humanitarian, He will be almost impossible to replace. God Bless this True Gentleman.
Sir David Attenborough you are 1 of 3 & your unfortunate stress portrays the image of humanity, it does not look good does it. We the masses, the real leaders, the public, we must come to the aid of 1 of our leaders & do something now for each other for real!
If we gave up using fossil fuels and went back to the dark age it would achieve nothing, other than culling the population, obviously, that's the real agenda here
I intentionaly put this amazing man every day in youtube to hear him becuase he reminds me so much of my grandfather, a man who had the same voice a this Sir and he calmed down .
"To put value on nature, that goes far beyond money." Isnt that the ultimate truth!! Its exactly why we are self destructive, we put all our values on money, and none on nature...and thought we could get away with it...nope. Humanity turned out to be the real Pandemic of the planet. This man is a genuine hero. A global treasure. Thank you Sir.
Thanks for all the love and support. I am blown away by the love from you all. I know these are hard times but with love and faith we shall all see the light again 🥰❤️❤️. Love you
When Sir Attenborough addresses the world like this, we better all take heed. He means business and what he's saying is serious. A great message from a nature-respecting human being. 👍
Dear Sir David, welcome to my relatity, one which I have now been living for over ten years. I have seen little change in peoples behaviour in that time, but there is, I am told 'hope'.
Many have already made significant changes in light of the accelerating challenges we face. It's the global 'leaders' who seem incapable of action. They've known for decades the 'limits to growth'. In reality, we can't address our predicament by personal lifestyle choices alone. I back a global citizens' assembly and a radical shift from a global economy based on infinite growth (GDP) to degrowth. I wonder if those with power and skin in the game will have the resolve to act like this is REAL and safeguard future generations from potential social, economic and ecological collapse.
The greatest British ( World ) man that has ever lived. He knows what he's talking about so listen World leaders. A Legend. Stop the greed and help people and other creatures that share the same planet. Or we are doomed.
Action should of been taken befor i was born, procrastination and unwillingness to put human lives and the health of the planet befor profits and political convience. If we pass the tipping point the first to die will be the poor, but not befor we hold those responsible to a worse fate
Prof. Guy McPherson has been predicting this for decades. IF we had acted to mitigate climate change 50 years ago, we would have had a chance (to survive). There are too many feedbacks now to stop, let alone reverse, climate change. We are now well into Earth's 8th mass extinction. old geologist
@@anastrawberry8047 Sorry for the LATE acknowledgment of your post. I "broke" the screen on my laptop and it is being repaired. Chihuahua! Its a sign of things to come. ¿Saludos desde Saltillo Mexico! ;-)
Thank you so much for your life-time of advocacy for the planet and for our race. It is not easy to hear the future you see for us, but it is essential that we each individually begin to change the way we are living. This future will require all of us to cut back our consumption of energy, food, water... so that there can be enough for all to lead a simple life. It will be a much simpler future with far fewer luxuries. But if we do this for each other and the world we will like ourselves better. We may come to know what integrity is.
Guys a legend, Lifetime of knowledge. I would listen to him over any politician, government or some lame endorsed celebrity. Fair play Mr. Attenborough Love his lockdown hair also :)
This message must be interpreted in to other languages leting as much as possible people to support this statement. No meter if you believe in God or not, this Planet was given to us to share and care not selfishly over use and finally destroy. David Attenborough people like you make this world the better place.
Maybe not shure David should reply to God don't you think but what about us should we allow to be destroyed what God created, than what God going to say to us.
Thanks for all the love and support. I am blown away by the love from you all. I know these are hard times but with love and faith we shall all see the light again 🥰❤️❤️. Love you
Sir David speaks the truth with care for all people on the planet, and with care for the natural ecosystems that we depend on for continued life on earth. God bless Sir David, and may the leaders of every nation take to heart these truths that we may leave a beautiful, functioning planet to future generations!
Governments and people of the world, please listen, but don't just listen, please act. Anything an individual can do, even something small can make a difference. Everybody has a role to play, whether it is being mindful of how we dispose of things, recycling, and changing production practices, maybe even make responsible purchase choices to the best of your ability and within your means, choose products and modes of transport that limit impact. That may not be mass transit, because some of the current mass transit isn't all that efficient, and in some cases the power or fuel source is the problem. The fundamental requirement to achieve any of this, is education, and access to education for all.
🙏 Everyone's responsibility to ensure the stability of our future 🌍Humanity is so destructive, HOPE and FAITH to try and restore the balance, thank you Sir David Attenborough I do hope 🤞 the world listens to undo or atleast stop the catastrophic damages caused through our ignorance, selfishness and greed ⏳ time is not on our side.
People are so ready to shout he is a natural treasure etc but how many listen and do things he asks? He is just amazing and he is begging people to listen...
Probably the sort of idiots who believe Climate Change and Covid19 are hoaxes and it's all part of a conspiracy theory about a plot by cannibal pedophiles to take over the planet and enforce global vaccinations to enable mind control etc. etc.
Sir David you are a living miracle to humanity. We all must listen and act now . Thank you for caring for the future of humanity and our beautiful world
Conflict & crises make $. There is no incentive if we continue with the current socioeconomic system. We need to grow up, address the Structural Violence it perpetrates upon us all, and change to what Attenborough alluded to, a resource based system.
Thank you Sir David for your words and life work. Humans have lived on this planet for 6 million years yet they have only had plastic for about 107 years. About 31% of CO2 emissions comes from making things, manufacturing what we think we need. I am concerned that some Nations are coming together to mine the ocean floor for rare earth metals such as Neodymium and others that are used to make our modern gadgets and wind generators. This is due to other Nations not selling them anymore due to their own need. The European Union proved that nations can work together to solve problems, so now it is time to create a GLOBAL UNION which must be formed of ALL nations in order to monitor and police this new rare earth metal catastrophe that is about to unfold. Just because humans can make something does not mean they have the wisdom to do so! 31%, that is 3 times more than transport. Let us work together and learn from our ancestors all those 6 million years of them.. Take care. :)
Thanks for all the love and support. I am blown away by the love from you all. I know these are hard times but with love and faith we shall all see the light again 🥰❤️❤️. Love you
I haven't heard from anyone in five days Just goes to show people's apathy Sir David's speach was a last call to arms 2060 should see us in real trouble
Non of the government's around the world will listen to our concerns over the environment and I work in the environment and I've seen the problems the world is at. I am going to soon make my own part of the world a heaven for my family as no one else will. I don't want to keep breathing in all the toxic fumes and chemicals that are in the atmosphere, we are slowly being killed of by industry and everyone seems to be blind about what is happening. The main problem is there are too many humans on this planet taking up natural resources and not enough land to be able to feed us. I'm not hanging around so hopefully my family won't be too badly effected by this
Humans either evolve intellectually by accepting and acting upon the knowledge that we are one species, willing to reject anything that separates us and move beyond past acts aggressions where groups or nations of people made decisions based in ignorance, or continue face extinction.
The sea has risen 120 meters since the last ice age. People used to live on the Doggerlands and were able to walk from Britain to Europe! It flooded 6,500BC long before man discovered fossil fuels (See: glacial periods).
This is a climate and ecological EMERGENCY. Calling it climate change sounds like it's a naturally occuring phenomenon, which it's not. Big respect to you David.
@@muse0ver Nope you are wrong. It's only because I know what I'm talking about. Meanwhile you are only parroting nonsense you picked up from some alarmist source.
Yes agreed, yet the sad thing is, you will still find many groups of people that can't get along with each other and decided to start fighting..unfortunately the world is not full of flowers and butterflies.
You are a fool. Even when the trees all burn and the sea rises you will quote some story as an excuse to ignore the issue to secure your delusion, rather then do something to preserve the earth. Even the verse you quote has no detail, it doesn't say summer won't be blazing heat or the winters won't be storms of ice. It simply makes a blank statement about the seasons always being present but says nothing about their changing severities.
I want to do something but I don't know what. Feels sad. I have a massive amount of skill, choice, privilege, education, free speech and resources. Why am I struggling to know what to do. Feeling hypocritical and pathetic.
Dear Respectable, Here's Afghanistan's capital Kabul city everyday many blost. What a life security Risk. Please help for resettlement safe life Protection. Thanks for your helping the people's UNHCR UNITED Nation please help ?
