JOHN CHUCKMAN COMMENT: I HOPE THE ADMIRABLE DAVID ATTENBOROUGH ISN'T JOINING GRETA THUNBERG'S CHILDREN'S CRUSADE

COMMENT POSTED TO AN ARTICLE IN THE INDEPENDENT



"David Attenborough says humans have made ‘tragic, desperate mess’ of planet'



I've long enjoyed David Attenborough's work. I have seen a number of his excellent nature films.

But I disagree with this statement of his.

It sounds a bit like the regrettable Greta Thunberg, someone I've compared to a Jehovah's Witness at your front door on steroids.

I'm all in favor of sensible measures to protect our environment.

But the Thunberg phenomenon is religion and not science. Fanatical religion, something always dangerous.

A children's crusade.
