He is the walrus: why we need to boycott David Attenborough and other peddlers of climate change misinformation

There's no accountability in the environmentalism doomsday cult, with gurus like the BBC star pushing propaganda without checking the facts and getting away with it.

‘I am the eggman’

Warning: the video below contains scenes some viewers may find difficult to watch. It might be the whining voices or creepy cult-like commitment of the speakers. For me, it’s the horror that millions of young people have been brainwashed into thinking the world is ending and it’s their parents’ fault.

The video is a compilation of clips from a Zoom meeting with members of Just Stop Oil, Extinction Rebellion and Animal Rising. They’re discussing The Big One, a protest in London in April 2023, where they tried to blackmail the British government into scrapping what they say are planet-killing policies.

Who is responsible for their bizarre beliefs? You could blame the British education system, which is now a tool for left-wing indoctrination. Widen the lens though, and it’s easier to spot the prime suspect: David Attenborough.

His reach goes far beyond our borders, thanks to broadcasters all over the world snapping up every nature show the BBC churns out featuring him or his lovely voice. There was a point where it may have been justified, but in a genre where so much is fake - almost all the sound effects, for example - it’s time for a reappraisal.

To anyone who says, “You can’t say that - he’s a national treasure and really old”, I’ll say two things. Firstly, my mum is old so I have nothing against the elderly. Secondly, in the BBC’s coverage of genius naturalist David Bellamy’s death, it interviewed a ‘close friend’ who badmouthed him, accusing the former presenter of being ‘out of touch‘ because he wouldn’t agree with the BBC’s crap about catastrophic man-made climate change. Attenborough on the other hand, says anything and sounds informed, terrifying and comforting all at the same time. The dude’s got skills.

Over the past two decades, he has increasingly pushed the line that everyone and every thing will die unless people give up stuff like travel, eating meat, breathing - anything that increases the 0.04% of CO2 in the atmosphere*. If the woke world agreed with this article, Dave’s "documentaries" would already have been re-edited to remove scary statements of doom.

The media has been misguiding people, companies and governments for too long. Attenborough is by no means alone, with celebrities all over the place damaging young minds with outlandish claims - the scarier the better.

It’s unclear how many casualties there are of green-lobby-provoked "eco-anxiety". One of the most recent was a Belgian man who killed himself after a chat bot convinced him his existence threatened future generations. That hasn't stopped the BBC and others promoting their own sinister chat bots for people who don't think the media’s blanket coverage of climate change is enough .

A few years ago, the BBC admitted its climate change reporting is “wrong too often”, The Guardian wrote at the time. It quoted BBC news and current affairs head Fran Unsworth as saying producers “do not need a ‘denier’ to balance the debate” for stories about “man-made global warming”. The newspaper said the move was because interviewers were incapable of challenging sceptics.

Another BBC naturalist, Chris Packham, was invited to the above Zoom meeting and this is what he had to say about the mindless, misguided and sometimes criminal behaviour of the UK climate protest movement:

What’s just as bad as spreading misinformation is failing to put things into context. For example, claims made about RSPB’s Minsmere nature reserve in Suffolk. When the nuclear power plant at Sizewell next door was planning an extension, nature lovers were concerned millions of fish might die by getting sucked into the pipes pumping water from the sea to cool the new reactor.

At the same time, few celebrities (besides Joanna Lumley) speak out against the massive destruction to sea life and habitats caused by offshore turbines that ‘green energy‘ trickles from. Just putting them up produces deafening fish-killing piledriving, as this video shows:

Anything not dead is finished off over time by the constant vibration once they’re operating. These areas are devoid of life. Diving seabird numbers are down more than 90% in those places and the surrounding waters.

Meanwhile, turbine farms on land kill thousands more birds every year. Insects also disappear, ruining local ecosystems - that's not including the effect of creating roads needed for the lorries carrying the monstrosities into the middle of fields. There is nothing green about turbines and it's not unrealistic to say the Sizewell plant could create more electricity than all the turbines in the UK combined.

Dave would probably argue with that. In 2016, he spewed out this unsubstantiated garbage: "Within 10 years it will be absolutely possible to produce energy directly from the sun and the tides and the wind… at a price which undercuts the carbon that we find, the oil and the coal." Yeah, right. That won’t even be possible by 2050.

In the most high-profile case of him lying through his teeth, he claimed in a Netflix show that climate change was affecting walruses in Siberia so much, they were hurling themselves off a cliff in desperation. In reality, polar bears had them cornered and leaping seemed the only way to avoid being eaten. Unfortunately they were still eaten when the bears got to the bottom, but the tragedy made great TV.

Dave defended the lie, admitting nature programmes are just like "movies" and the truth is routinely twisted to make them more interesting. The danger in that comes when politicians and other idiots latch onto the lies and hold them up as proof people are killing the planet, so governments need to introduce more dystopian controls and higher taxes to solve the problem.

There is a glimmer of hope. In March, the Sydney Morning Herald reported a possible tipping point in Australia. As Anna Patty reports, companies churning out end-of-world bullshit to sell products will get sued or prosecuted if they make false claims. So, many of them have shut up.

The article says it's part of a global trend called "green hushing" and involves large companies purging greenwashing propaganda from their websites. It's about time something like this happened but so far, this common sense cure for fear-mongering insanity hasn't spread to the UK. Plus I'm not sure the new rules go far enough. Peddlers of this nonsense should be imprisoned, or worse, forced to live in communities run entirely on solar and wind. Goo goo g’joob.

*man-made climate change alarmists now tend to use ppm (parts per million) instead of percentage as 400ppm sounds a lot scarier than 0.04%
