Everest etc) and take apicture of themselves where DA was filming.

If he and others had keept away from the natural world and NOT made films for showing on every TV network in the world then there's a chance that some of the species now in danger would be better off.

Re: Extinction the facts

Most people have no desire or money to climb Everest .
For a start it’s booked up up for YEARS ahead and costs about 20k to go up .
AFAIK David Attenborough has not encouraged anyone to climb Everest .

As the rest of your post I am sorry this is not so .
Many environmental projects are supported entirely by eco tourism .

Eco tourists tend to be aware of the environment and don’t damage it .

The people who are have /are destroying the environment are large corporations for commercial gain and the increasing numbers and demands of the human species.

Us then Muddy?

From a save the planet point of view, we have got too expensive for our own good, and our input far outweighs our output...If we were all machines, we would be uneconomical to run and be scrapped. Isn't this what Covid is doing? Cutting out all the dead wood....?

Re: Extinction the facts

Just a question then..how do Eco tourists get to the places us common people don’t get too..do they walk..provide their own eco friendly accommodation and food, or do they fly in, stay at an expensive lodge or 5 star hotel?
I wish I was rich enough to be an eco tourist and able to offset my carbon footprint

Re: Extinction the facts

A hard question young OGF other than committing suicide (in an eco friendly way) in order to avoid his ‘ we all doomed message’ very little I suspect.
I suspect a cull of the millennials the main abusers of the planet might not go down well either.

Ignore them, let them worry about it if it makes them feel better, and enjoy life!
