"Happy Birthday to the true legend, David Attenborough! His work has not only been inspiring but also significantly impactful. His voice alone could make a grocery list sound like an epic adventure. Here's to many more, Sir!"
you've wheeled out the usual suspects, I see. Mid-tier semi-literarati like Obama and Bono and Atwood, who feel that the ex-director general of the BBC is somehow more worthwhile that the actual agenda of our moribund planet. This form of lick-spittle toadying, the myopic focus on the media & not
the message, will see the death of the primate long before the sentiment has cleared the gaze of its glaucomic eyes. Attenborough himself has always stressed population control, I recall, and I dare say, when south korea fails to exist in forty
years and the UK in eighty, nature may have a fighting chance. Or it may simply be that semi-celebs make budget programming as they fumble through the Attenborough archives recalling their childhoods, their ebryonic egos, and the halcoyn days of watching talking beasts on CBBC.
A remarkable man in so many ways. Like many who have worked for conservation, to me David Attenborough’s voice has always been that quiet, convincing and enthusiastic support. In future generations people will talk of being alive when Sir David Attenborough was. A truly great man.
