It wouldn't surprise at all if when he dies people will then allegedly say he sexually abused them. Simply because that country the uk is infested with millions of pedophile's.
Im from Iceland (not your grocery store) And ive always found david to be our treasure to. world treasure indeed. ..i was a bit startled about his answer to life in the universe though.. oh well, he's David :)
@@dseven6 I think you'd find he agrees there is life theoretically but not in the sense that it's right next door and we can just move to another planet if we destroy this one
His full title is Sir David Attenborough, Order of Merit, Order of the Companions of Honour, Commander of the Royal Victorian Order, Commander of the Order of the British Empire, Fellow of the Royal Society, Fellow of the innean Society of London, Fellow of the London Zoological Society, Felow of the Society of Antiquiaries of London, Fellow of the Royal Scottish Geography Society
@@wadeinn463 The common people are but children to their nation. The best thing we can do is travel by bus/train and recycle trash. It's the politicians and the big corporations that can do some actual change.
Humans are so silly they think we can destroy the force we call nature. It can not be killed. It will just rid its self of what it does not need or what causes it discomfort
I've watched this man since I was a child, through his knowledge and presentation also his wonderful narration has enriched my life and millions of others. Thankyou very much sir Attenborough
As a biology teacher, I delighted in using his videos like Life on Earth and Secret Life of Plants... The students often seemed fascinated, and I hope a few remember him and learned from this wonderful teacher of our natural world. He is a blessing to our world.
@@josegaleano6932 Did you know that the word "bless" isn't necesarrily linked to God? 😲 I don't believe in ivisible sky daddy myself, so maybe.... Just maybe, you should stop assuming things in the future honey. ;)
The world needs more David Attenborough's. A true gentleman and wonderful narrator. He started my love of creatures of the world, not just my backyard.
"A society grows great when old men plant trees whose shade they know they shall never sit in." Sir David is the personification of this ancient Greek proverb, in particular his fight against climate change - he won't be around to see its effects, but he is nonetheless doing all he can to prevent it.
You don't understand human psychology. Man is reducing his death anxiety by involving Himself in causes greater than himself, positive delusions - a form of religion.
@@viborrr im sure he and we will be living even longer and more prosperous and healthy if we didn't have to worry so much about our natural world pillaged and natural resources plundered... saving this planet from the likes of lust and human impacts of destruction is nowhere near religion.... fact religion is the reason why most of this destruction, conversion, genocide, redesign, and refutation comes from...
@@jaredguerra2222 Good luck in your speech with Morons the world over. There is no hope for us because of Greed. The Planet will outlast us by Billions of years. We are a very finite species whose Ignorance far outweighs our intelligence.
Since I was a boy when I heard his voice come on the television it brought a calm and hope. Plus I knew I was going to get to watch something cool for a least an hour.
Thank you David for showing us the real world over the years. And thank you too to your camera men who have captured so many wonderful images in such detail.
David Attenborough is one of the most important prophets alive today. He has seen global habitat destruction and climate crisis effects first hand over decades. It would be fantastic if every school child and politician in the world watched this 60 Minutes show. Thanks, 60 Minutes, for this pivotal show! May it be that the world and its leaders learn to listen to Sir David's wisdom!!
@@zoranvanzindell and kind. I could just imagine him teaching me stuff but not in an authoritative way, in a natural, unforced way. And can you imagine how fantastic he'd be at reading bed time stories?!!
His voice has so much common sense in it and also so much wisdom the world and us here in america better listen now. Thanks 60min for featuring him on your show! Great job!
So proud to call this man a fellow English person. Same with his brother Richard, who sadly passed away. David was born to voice natural history programmes.
David Attenborough is a great human being, his love of the natural world and its many species. Look at the reception he gets from all of the young people at Britain's big music concert when he appears, he is beloved. He's right in saying that human beings have taken over the world, what a contrast with how much nature was present when he started doing these films when he was 28.
Who in God's name would give this interview a thumbs down. I love this man and all he has done to enlighten and educate us about the natural world. Our home. We need to listen.
“We live in a finite world. Ultimately we depend upon the Natural World for every mouthful of food that we eat and indeed every lungful of air that we breathe.” 8:25
Stijn van de Ven okay. I see your very passionate about this. Let’s say that in the event that Increases in CO2 or other gases are not causing the climate to change, is there anything so terrible about preserving natural environments for future generations to enjoy and learn from?
@ Strawmanning and deflecting won't change the argument. You are entitled to your own opinion, but not to change the facts of the matter. Sir David is and will be a hero for future generations!
@ To say that we shouldn't take measures against the climate warming the globe because a "utopian government planned centralised economy" will then cause the world to starve - is not a strawman?! With your first sentence in mind, it's rather funny you accuse Al Gore of scaremongering. Your argument about the climate warming is due to temperature and not CO2, and if I jump over my hurdles and say "let's go with that for now". How is using less fossil fuel and more solar/wind/water power bad?

@@chrises5231 thats not a strawman, that's what they claim, the are gonna being a 'green economy' through a 'great reset' those are not my words it's theirs and it must be obtained by government implementing that it's gonna be all green energy.. sounds like a centralized planned economy to me. It doesnt sound that different then Mao's the great leap forward and USSR's industrialization that lead to hunderds of millions of death through starvation coz that is usually the case when government talks about bringing economic utopia. For me that is a green utopia this time around doesn't matter, the result will be all the same.
We owe everything to Sir David Attenborough. He has shown us the light for so many years, and yes it is that simple. But we have become too disconnected from humanity that we as individuals are unable to make the difference. Mr Sir David Attenborough, whilst we may not have you for much longer. We want you to know that you touched peoples hearts and we were reminded of what humanity truely is. Stay healthy, stay together and may humanity finally understand that we need to connect.
Sir David, the world is a better place because of you. Your films should be required viewing by schools worldwide, from K through 12th grade. I have listened to and greatly admired you, your work, your ethics, and your love of nature for most of my life. Thank you for your contributions and your endeavors to make the people of this world more aware of the environment and it's much needed conservation. Thank you and God bless you.
What an absolute stud at 94! He is totally right we do need the natural world for our very sanity. During the pandemic when I was cooped up all day I started to weirdly feel wanting to go outside, hike, and take long walks. Being in nature helped my sanity and being depressed/down.
Yes he is very valuable because of his work of awareness. He knows that the planet and all the creatures in it are suffering. But he is just a man. We need a Higher Power in order to save the earth 🌎 www.jw.org/finder?wtlocale=E&issue=2014-09-01&pub=w14&srcid=share
Many SCIENTISTS AROUND THE WORLD ARE DOING THE SAME AND ALLERTING US OF THE END OF THE WORLD. DEPEND OF US AND OUR GOVERMENTS TO CHANGE THIS TERRIBLE SITUATION WHERE HUMANS BEING ARE. DOOMSDAY IS NOT A NEW THING I KNEW ABOUT IT SINCE V YOUNG. NOT ROCK SCIENCE. LOOK AROUND..... THE WORLD IS CHANGING FOR WORSE DISAGREE WITH DAVID A. WHEN HE SAYS THERE IS NO LIFE IN OTHER PLANETS IN OTHER GALAXIES AS THERE ARE HARD EVIDENCE THAT THEY THE ALIENS HAS COME TO EARTH. WE NEED TO BE EDUCATED BUT MAYBE IS TOO LATE NOW.....
@@sethgold2048 I well know, O Jehovah, that man’s way does not belong to him.It does not belong to man who is walking even to direct his step. Jeremiah 10:23
There's nothing to hate really. Nothing bad to dig out from his past. My conservative cousins who thinks climate change is a hoax (yea I know) still holds him in high regards.
What a amazing human being. TRUELLY a excellent example to every single man, woman and child as to how we should look at the wonder that's nature. God bless him. Thank you for people like him., and I'm forever grateful to have had to thee honor of sharing this planet with such a remarkable man. 🌍🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏💕
Those images of our Great Barrier Reef continue to break my heart! It has been decimated! And now, our beloved Koala is dangerously close to becoming an endangered species due to our horrific fires, logging, and urban development 😢😢 Because of the fabulous work of Sir David, I chose the WWF-Australia to donate to every month ❤️❤️
Look up the facts - the reef is fine... What's been decimated is truth and honesty; as we'll all find out soon - then we'll know the damage this 'gentle' person has done to the human population, lying to children, for his living
@@robmanzoni5766 The difference between Sir David Attenborough and yourself is that he has evidence for what he is saying. He's spent his entire life observing the natural world, and you would offer him disrespect. Shame on you.
@@juntus89 "Attenborough has EVIDENCE"..? OK - Some references: 1. Netflix, Attenborough and cliff-falling walruses: A false climate icon 17 May 2019 2. White Lie: The Cruel Abuse of a Starving Polar Bear 30 Aug 2018 3. Polar Bear Scare Unmasked: A Toppled Global Warming Icon 27 Feb 2017 These relate to only ONE of his serial dishonest lies...
@@robmanzoni5766 Climate change deniers attempting to discredit Sir David Attenborough by way of fake news. Rob, please wake up. The evidence is overwhelming and, to use one of your sources (the link about the walruses falling off the cliff), this has been responded to already by the makers of the documentary. Polar bears you claim? Show me the polar bears Rob. Show me your proof. All you have offered is fake news in order to suit YOUR narrative which is climate change (man made to more specific) is a conspiracy. Your links are ridiculous and if you had but an ounce of integrity you would know it. I couldn't care any less about the cohorts of like minded misguided individuals that agree with you, no less than I could the armies of indoctrinated Muslims, Christians and other theists that outnumber non believers; it is not a concern due to the simple fact that they do not get taken seriously. You and your climate denying ilk aren't being taken seriously any more than the flat earthers, so you may as well stop wasting your precious time. The movement towards responsibility has taken off with earnest, penetrated the minds of the younger generation and it is inevitable that social attitudes towards saving the planet for the influence of mans destructive nature will prevail. Free yourself from the ridiculous view you and take responsibility.
Now that man is a man who has lived a life he can be proud of - Sir David has shared so much and taught us so much over decades - He has shown us the wonders of nature- the world and our children will continue to benefit from the lifework of this amazing man- thank you
He's an icon. He has shown me the most beautiful creatures of our planet! He's show is inspirational and unique. Love you Mr attenborow! You're the greatest?
I did just that. Early 80s growing up South Florida Prime undisturbed habitat strip malls urban sprawl it's unreal I wished I could have documented it better and shown people cuz it sounds ludicrous but it's true
Tragically, the "decline" is not slow, it's catastrophically rapid. Planet earth has been evolving for approx. 4.5 billion years. However, human activity has destroyed wildlife populations by more than two-thirds _in less than 50 years_ - that's terrifyingly fast.
I don't think anyone outside the UK will ever understand how important this man has been to opening up our minds and thoughts to our beautiful planet, his entire history is remarkable
What he say makes me cry because it's all true. I've witnessed this (been aware of it) for the past 50 years. Sad that a lot of people just don't understand or care.
At nearing the same age, and a friend of our awesome natural world, I, too, have seen a lot of change in my 8 decades, and can attest both to the wonder and the warnings of this prophet!!!
My heart aches at the thought of this man becoming extinct. The worlds greatest educator and advocate of all things living. I emulate this hero in as much as I can. Respecting all life and being humbled by my place in it.
Since I was a child, I was watching "Life on Earth". I believe every word he says. I believe that getting through this to change, we must change the way we live. Change the way we treat our environment. Change to save Nature on an international level because we ourselves are part of Nature. We don't own it... we belong to IT. If nature goes down... we too will go down.
I have been crying since 2018, and there is no end to it. We have destroyed our home beyond repair. Where are we going to go? People please we don't have time. Let's fight to change it.
"...We have destroyed our home beyond repair...." This is the nonsense which you've been taught; and one day, you'll understand how much the world has been abused - deliberately - by people who want to change the democratic system; and convert everyone into into a communist system, where no-one is able to reach her/his full potential - and only the few at the top - become wealthy at the expense of _everyone else_...
David attenborough is a great man, but a man none the less, please listen, take notes , and change our behavior. Don't let his last documentary be in vein
Sir David Attenborough should never be allowed to die. If we could select one of us to live as long as they wanted to, with a good functioning body, it should be him! He will surely be missed horribly. I still watch his old stuff today, I watch it almost every day and was watching it today.
I love and respect Sir Attenborough so much. Growing up in the '70s and '80s, I remember watching him on ch 28. My mom had us(my sis and me)study the episodes and discuss them later. His voice is so rich and soothing, you want to listen to anything he says. I'm glad he is still producing such great films at such an important time in Earth's time.
