“Personally, I find it bizarre – and frustrating – that an otherwise exemplary series, which took years to film, has been tainted – in my mind, at least – by such a sloppy piece of research.”
“But however you approach it, Attenborough’s claim that “some parts of the African continent have become 3.5C hotter in the past 20 years” appears to fall down upon further analysis.”
Why would anyone be surprised – Attenborough has been quoting hypothesis as fact for years and has always made sweeping statements about animals in the third person – how the hell he knows what an animal is seeing let alone thinking is certainly bizarre (to borrow the term)
He finds it “bizarre” and “frustrating,” but not surprising.
Why would it surprise anyone. Enviro-terrorists just throw stuff at the wall to see what sticks. Don’t have to have any real support. Just make a statement.
Saving face.
