David Attenborough: Civilization's collapse is on the horizon
The noted naturalist told the UN climate change summit in Poland the future is more dire than most choose to believe. He was chosen to represent the voice of the people in addressing delegates of 200 nations.
"Our greatest threat in thousands of years."
Nothing Attenborough says is shocking or unforeseen to anyone who has paid attention. We've had nearly a half-century of warning, particularly so in the last 30 years but humanity has chosen willful ignorance above all else.
What a stupid and petty little primate we've turned out to be.

Kick in to the DU tip jar?
This week we're running a special pop-up mini fund drive. From Monday through Friday we're going ad-free for all registered members, and we're asking you to kick in to the DU tip jar to support the site and keep us financially healthy.
As a bonus, making a contribution will allow you to leave kudos for another DU member, and at the end of the week we'll recognize the DUers who you think make this community great.
