Attenbrorough is has become just a paid shill and propagandist for the totalitarian fascists, that is all.

Probably the most absurd of all his jumble of confused self-contradicions is the jump from the religiuos premise that human resource use, alone of all species, is sinful; to the conclusion that the best way to rationalise scarce resources to their most urgent and important ends, is to have giant technocratic bureaucracies ruling by wads and screeds of regulations so as to block every human action without limit or reason, unless we first get permission from the government pffft.

Laughable foolery.

Homo Sapiens is a parasite on this, once beautiful, planet, our ONLY home.
We have taken nearly everything, managed to destroy it, and given nothing worthwhile in return.
Along the way we have completely ignored the fact that we DO NOT own this planet. We merely share it with all other animal species. Each of which fills a niche essential for their, and our, survival.
The ultimate arrogant parasite.

So the obvious question is, what are you doing here?

Just enough of you, too much of everyone else, is that it?

Yes, we are clever, well most of us! Culminating on putting a man on the moon! But counterbalanced by diabolically dumb elected decision-makers ignoring the advice of scientists like NASA scientist and nuclear technologist Kirk Sorensen. Who advocates MSR thorium as a means to decarb the economy while quite massively growing it! Conflicted and dishonest pollies are putting the financial interests of a few foreigners ahead of the national interest.

In around twelve months, a 500 MW thorium, molten-salt reactor will be added to the Indonesian grid to pump power costing as little as 1 cent PKWH. Thorium is an indicator mineral that often comes with rare earth deposits that along with the abundant thorium, have to be mined.

No mining jobs need to be lost, by a sane transition to thorium!
And with a few technical issues already solved, able to pump the world's cheapest, cleanest, safest power into our grid and indeed export billions worth to an energy-hungry world! Via graphene cored undersea cables.

Power as cheap as envisaged will end our reliance on China as a supply chain manufacturer and instead open up our steel production, aluminium and manufactured goods to the rest of the world! Given we replace our aging transmission lines with a graphene underlay under highways and byways, enable a profit margin of around 200% at around 3 cents PKWH.

And without ever creating a waste problem by rather solving the nuclear waste problem while earning an annual billion for the service. When Lance Hancock approached various Aussies pollies to solicit funds for an Australian iron or industry, the same Mr smirk characters refused and forced the sale of the incredible assets and the loss of billions of export dollars!

Nothing much has changed other than the names of the recalcitrant, tin-eared drongos, now making similarly stupid decisions about energy policy. For the exclusive benefit of around a virtually disarmed and helpless 2% of us!? Go figure.

Correction the helpless 2% should be read as 98%. Iron or should be read as iron ore. Grammarly kees shifting blocks of text around and Auto correcting things like ore into or As a marketing tool to move me to Grammarly premium, a dismal failure. If they don't want folks to use their free service? They should offer it! And where is the unsubscribe button!

On the contrary, Attenborough's doting hi-resolution nature-porn encourages first-world humans to think that everything's going just great.

Sure, we're a brilliant species, of astonishing science and culture, but we're also uniquely murderous, and way out of control. With 8b of us, you get half the land surface converted, rampant land clearing and logging, poisoned oceans, increasing pandemics, the sixth wave of extinction, not enough water, rising CO2 and temps, unsustainable migration and population pressures over land and resources.

At exactly what point would the endless-growth brigade agree that there might be a slight technical problem, and maybe back off? 25b humans? 50b?
