Sir David Attenborough warns of impact of extreme weather events, saying 'if we don't act now' on climate change 'it'll be too late'

Our conversation ranged from the latest climate science to the importance of COP26 to the pace of his working life.

"What climate scientists have been saying for 20 years, and that we have been reporting upon, you and I both, is the case - we were not causing false alarms. "There are still people in North America, there are still people in Australia who say 'no, no, no, no, of course it's very unfortunate that there was that forest fire that absolutely demolished, incinerated that village, but it's a one-off'.

His call for an urgent response reflects the latest scientific assessment that to avoid the worst impacts of rising temperatures, global carbon emissions need to be halved no later than 2030. The argument is that they should be making the deepest cuts in carbon emissions and providing help to those who need it most. A long-standing promise of $100bn a year for low carbon development and to build stronger defences against more violent weather has yet to be fulfilled - reaching that total will be a key test of whether COP26 succeeds or fails.

BasuAshis It's already too late for excellent results but it's imperative to act now to save most of our planet from total disaster !

It's already too late, humans will have to adapt to a new way of life in the next 100 years and that's a fact. We've taken/used & destroyed far too much & continue to do so in the endless pursuit of money. This world is dying & it's our future generations who will suffer most

Sir, Morality and accountabilty is only for the poor, rich nations are evasive and deceptive. We need to change these people ! Change People, Change Climate!

The stench of hypocrisy 🤢
