        Let’s just put it this way, Mr. Trump: You’re Lord Voldemort, the San Diego Zoo is Harry Potter, and the giraffe in an orange wig that they blasted to smithereens is the Elder Wand that totally took you down!

        Now that's a good article.

      I love all his programs be has done (may not seen all, idk) but he has started talking about overpopulation and that shit makes me nervous hearing that now. Even with good intentions, it can open the door for ecofascists to have a bigger platform

    Like when exactly? Election night when it looked like Trump might win? A day later when Biden took a lead? Sometime over the next few days when it seemed like Biden won but nobody knew? There's no single moment with enough weight behind it for a visceral reaction.

    How do they never learn. Obama was shit for the environment; he even bragged about how much he increased domestic oil production. I guess it's because the media gives Dems a complete pass on environmental issues and just assumed they are good for the environment. People lack the media criticism to see that I suppose

    For what though? Climate change is Attenborough's big thing and Joe Biden will be as apathetic towards it as Trump.

      Joe Biden is absolutely going allow some fucked up shit to happen, he doesn't even really believeor know how serious climate change is, just plays it lip service. Similar how Obama did while he green lit Keystone XL pipeline and others.

        Attenborough is a Malthusian. He's against feeding the poor. He has some valid critiques about the contradiction of capitalism's endless growth, but his solution to climate change is essentially eco-fascism.

      Always thought he was overrated. Even if he has an okay voice, there's no need to plaster him all over every fucking documentary

        Not to say there aren't other better documentarians out there, but his work is so influential in getting people into life sciences, though. I do research in a field that's biology-adjacent and many of the 'origin stories' of the biologists and conservationists I've met start with binging his videos in the school holidays. Shame his politics suck.
