The question is, are we happy to suppose that our grandchildren may never be able to see an elephant except in a picture book?
David AttenboroughIt's extraordinary how self-obsessed human beings are. The things that people always go on about is, 'tell us about us', 'tell us about the first human being'. We are so self-obsessed with our own history. There is so much more out there than what connects to us.
David AttenboroughDo we really require so many gardening programmes, makeover programmes or celebrity chefs?
David AttenboroughI would be absolutely astounded if population growth and industrialisation and all the stuff we are pumping into the atmosphere hadn't changed the climatic balance. Of course it has. There is no valid argument for denial.
