He is a creep, similar to Bill Gates. Eugenist. He hates people. Which is not uncommon with people who love animals.

@@tenzinsmith7991 Except David Attenborough? A lot of woke people here think he is a God! Unfortunately.
David Attenborough is a world treasure, not just a UK national one.
Im from Iceland (not your grocery store) And ive always found david to be our treasure to. world treasure indeed. ..i was a bit startled about his answer to life in the universe though.. oh well, he's David :)
@@dseven6 I think you'd find he agrees there is life theoretically but not in the sense that it's right next door and we can just move to another planet if we destroy this one
He is much loved and respected here in Australia
he is a loser
Rusty Myers you are a worthless troll
Bless this man. I never want him to die. He is an inspiration to all of us! He is just the most wholesome person out there.
Sir David Attenborough is a rare gem of mankind and life on earth as a whole. Such marvelous wisdom and concern for the planet.
Sir David Attenborough is a treasure to all humanity.
Yes, he pretty much is.
God has kept David going for a reason.
It wouldn't surprise at all if when he dies people will then allegedly say he sexually abused them.
Simply because that country the uk is infested with millions of pedophile's.

The very best last 1/3 part was actually emotional and beautiful.
Hero. He has been my role model for as long as I can remember. I’m beyond grateful for everything he has done. We have to change NOW!
This man has dedicated his entire life to educate people and protect the natural world. We would do well to listen to what he has to say.
👍 ❤&✌
@Tone Loc So your saying he contributed nothing to humanity at all? Because he got to the places by planes, trains etc.
Too late...
And STILL governments won’t listen!
Not just listen but act upon as well
By saving nature, we are saving ourselves!
True.. however, we are doing the opposite. Destroying nature and destroying ourselves. We won’t change.
@@wadeinn463 The common people are but children to their nation. The best thing we can do is travel by bus/train and recycle trash. It's the politicians and the big corporations that can do some actual change.
Humans are so silly they think we can destroy the force we call nature. It can not be killed. It will just rid its self of what it does not need or what causes it discomfort

Amen, I fall in love with him daily.

@hennepin 2020 why
@@ganiavdiju8137 because
“The more I learn about people, the more l like my dog”- Mark Twain.
"Here we see David Attenborough is his natural habitat" - David Attenborough
So proud to call this man a fellow English person. Same with his brother Richard, who sadly passed away. David was born to voice natural history programmes.
"A society grows great when old men plant trees whose shade they know they shall never sit in."
Sir David is the personification of this ancient Greek proverb, in particular his fight against climate change - he won't be around to see its effects, but he is nonetheless doing all he can to prevent it.
You don't understand human psychology. Man is reducing his death anxiety by involving Himself in causes greater than himself, positive delusions - a form of religion.
@@viborrr a sense a dilettante in your tone...
@@viborrr im sure he and we will be living even longer and more prosperous and healthy if we didn't have to worry so much about our natural world pillaged and natural resources plundered... saving this planet from the likes of lust and human impacts of destruction is nowhere near religion.... fact religion is the reason why most of this destruction, conversion, genocide, redesign, and refutation comes from...
@@jaredguerra2222 Good luck in your speech with Morons the world over. There is no hope for us because of Greed. The Planet will outlast us by Billions of years. We are a very finite species whose Ignorance far outweighs our intelligence.
You believe his lies … the man is a fraud!
“We live in a finite world. Ultimately we depend upon the Natural World for every mouthful of food that we eat and indeed every lungful of air that we breathe.” 8:25
Putting all our faith into technology to solve a human problem is ultimately an excuse to not change the way we live.
Stijn van de Ven okay. I see your very passionate about this. Let’s say that in the event that Increases in CO2 or other gases are not causing the climate to change, is there anything so terrible about preserving natural environments for future generations to enjoy and learn from?
@Stijn van de Ven Strawmanning and deflecting won't change the argument. You are entitled to your own opinion, but not to change the facts of the matter.
Sir David is and will be a hero for future generations!
@Stijn van de Ven To say that we shouldn't take measures against the climate warming the globe because a "utopian government planned centralised economy" will then cause the world to starve - is not a strawman?! With your first sentence in mind, it's rather funny you accuse Al Gore of scaremongering.
Your argument about the climate warming is due to temperature and not CO2, and if I jump over my hurdles and say "let's go with that for now". How is using less fossil fuel and more solar/wind/water power bad?
Stijn van de Ven starve to death? I don’t think you understand how much food we actually create on the planet lol. Ever heard of “The New Deal” another scary sounding idea, that one worked out pretty good though. You deflected from my question pretty hard, so I can tell your not very serious about this.
Amazing human being. Everyone should be listening to this man's wisdom.
Only one thing to say. Since my childhood...Sir David Attenborough ❤❤❤
I've watched this man since I was a child, through his knowledge and presentation also his wonderful narration has enriched my life and millions of others. Thankyou very much sir Attenborough
As a biology teacher, I delighted in using his videos like Life on Earth and Secret Life of Plants... The students often seemed fascinated, and I hope a few remember him and learned from this wonderful teacher of our natural world. He is a blessing to our world.
Imagine documenting the natural world for decades and watching it's slow decline
It must be very sad.
I did just that. Early 80s growing up South Florida Prime undisturbed habitat strip malls urban sprawl it's unreal I wished I could have documented it better and shown people cuz it sounds ludicrous but it's true
Actually it’s decline isn’t going that slow :(
Depressing....
Tragically, the "decline" is not slow, it's catastrophically rapid. Planet earth has been evolving for approx. 4.5 billion years. However, human activity has destroyed wildlife populations by more than two-thirds _in less than 50 years_ - that's terrifyingly fast.
What a legend. Will never b another voice like his.
I will cry when he passes. Don't tell anyone.
The love and respect I have for him is something I can't express in words! We must love and protect him at all costs,he's so pure ❤️
I agree with you wholeheartedly Aloha friend hope you're doing well your comment was just absolutely excellent!
I just adore Sir David Attenborough. I've always wished he was my granddad.
Yeah he seems to be a very intelligent man.
Me too!
@@zoranvanzindell and kind. I could just imagine him teaching me stuff but not in an authoritative way, in a natural, unforced way. And can you imagine how fantastic he'd be at reading bed time stories?!!
He is everyone’s grandad !
I used to love him, until he started pushing the BBC' climate change agenda. Now I see him as a bit of a puppet like Greta.
Sir David Attenborough is the very definition of the word LEGEND. May the universe continue to bless him ❤️
Amén
David Attenborough is one of the most important prophets alive today. He has seen global habitat destruction and climate crisis effects first hand over decades. It would be fantastic if every school child and politician in the world watched this 60 Minutes show. Thanks, 60 Minutes, for this pivotal show! May it be that the world and its leaders learn to listen to Sir David's wisdom!!
The man is a treasure of humanity. His contributions and legacy go way beyond nations and nationalities. A legend!
you re so right, he is everyones hero. Your comment left me in tears of joy
You're absolutely right I feel the same way thank you for your comment Aloha and hope you are doing well
HE LOOKS 20 YEARS YOUNGER THAN HIS AGE.
Which actually means he looks old. :D
Indulging in nature will do that to a man.
Tone Loc I very much hope you’re joking.
@Tone Loc Define a propper job. He helped make BBC 2 a legitimate channel
Don't smoke and do what you love I guess.
I hope this amazing man lives to 120! He's so extraordinary ❤️
Sir David unplugged! I love it that he doesn't mince words; the time for mincing words is over. He is truly a world treasure.
Thank you is not enough, this is a remarkable human!
Sir David Attenborough must be protected at all cost!!! We need him for our planet!
Yes he is very valuable because of his work of awareness. He knows that the planet and all the creatures in it are suffering.
But he is just a man. We need a Higher Power in order to save the earth 🌎

Buy a King James Bible David while you have still got time. Then you may give glory to the Creator and not your own baseless ideas of the origins.
Been watching him since a child, absolutely love his documentaries!!
Thank you Sir David Attenborough, you have done and still are actively doing a great service to humanity, more people should listen to you.
People like him and Jane Goodall should be the leaders of this beautiful world. He is such a gift to the world.
calling his newest production "a witness statement" , speaks volumes .
what a wonderful friend and ally to all of life , is sir David.
This man is a wealth of knowledge and wisdom. I would love to meet and hug him. What an amazing human being!
I wish he was my grandad, I love this old-man. 94 years old! I wish him a 100 more! Long live Sir David Attenborough!
This man should live forever and voice over every animal documentary
That is very nice ryan :)
Agreed
This man exhibits a level of humanity that all humans should aspire to!
He shows love for animals. Not for people for that matter. He hates people. He is great admirer of eugenics. Like Bill Gates.
@@grip2617 Where does he say he hates people?
@@grip2617 He simply despairs that it is we humans who insist on fouling our only nest, and to our own detriment.
@@grip2617 you know your talking to a bit when they think being like bill gates is bad
This guy have see more then anyone else, priceless voice
Who in God's name would give this interview a thumbs down. I love this man and all he has done to enlighten and educate us about the natural world. Our home. We need to listen.
This man is so loveable even haters can't properly hate him
There's nothing to hate really. Nothing bad to dig out from his past. My conservative cousins who thinks climate change is a hoax (yea I know) still holds him in high regards.
As a notable denier once said: Don't misunderestimate them. They will turn on anyone who confronts them with facts.
Check this comment section better. There are plenty
Idiot - the man is a proven fraud and liar!
simply incredible, he is such a wonderful person. such a important person.
HE LOOKS 20 YEARS YOUNGER THAN HIS AGE.
He deserves the ‘Nobel Peace Prize 2020’ 🏅
I don't think anyone outside the UK will ever understand how important this man has been to opening up our minds and thoughts to our beautiful planet, his entire history is remarkable
Trust me this man is revered well beyond country borders.
He's not only known in the UK, sir. He's also a gem to us here in the Middle East
Since I was a boy when I heard his voice come on the television it brought a calm and hope. Plus I knew I was going to get to watch something cool for a least an hour.
👍
He is so ingrained in my mind for the natural world that if I watch a nature program and he is not the narrator I find it jarring.
What a beautiful gracious soul. Thanks to him for educating (most of) us for our entire lives. ❤️🌎🙏
Thank you David for showing us the real world over the years.
And thank you too to your camera men who have captured so many wonderful images in such detail.
“That’s what’s gonna sink us in the end.... that’s what’s gonna sink us”
Chills. Such a wise and brilliant man. We need to save this planet before it’s too late. For ONCE, we need to put Earth before profits.
Yeah, that part hit me so hard that I had to watch it again.
Let's put earth before profits so we can have more time putting profits before the earth.
Those images of our Great Barrier Reef continue to break my heart! It has been decimated! And now, our beloved Koala is dangerously close to becoming an endangered species due to our horrific fires, logging, and urban development 😢😢
Because of the fabulous work of Sir David, I chose the WWF-Australia to donate to every month ❤️❤️
I support people not having children, i.e. *antinatalism.*
Look up the facts - the reef is fine... What's been decimated is truth and honesty; as we'll all find out soon - then we'll know the damage this 'gentle' person has done to the human population, lying to children, for his living
@@robmanzoni5766 The difference between Sir David Attenborough and yourself is that he has evidence for what he is saying. He's spent his entire life observing the natural world, and you would offer him disrespect. Shame on you.

@@robmanzoni5766 Climate change deniers attempting to discredit Sir David Attenborough by way of fake news. Rob, please wake up. The evidence is overwhelming and, to use one of your sources (the link about the walruses falling off the cliff), this has been responded to already by the makers of the documentary. Polar bears you claim? Show me the polar bears Rob. Show me your proof. All you have offered is fake news in order to suit YOUR narrative which is climate change (man made to more specific) is a conspiracy. Your links are ridiculous and if you had but an ounce of integrity you would know it. I couldn't care any less about the cohorts of like minded misguided individuals that agree with you, no less than I could the armies of indoctrinated Muslims, Christians and other theists that outnumber non believers; it is not a concern due to the simple fact that they do not get taken seriously. You and your climate denying ilk aren't being taken seriously any more than the flat earthers, so you may as well stop wasting your precious time. The movement towards responsibility has taken off with earnest, penetrated the minds of the younger generation and it is inevitable that social attitudes towards saving the planet for the influence of mans destructive nature will prevail. Free yourself from the ridiculous view you and take responsibility.
"Is it that far gone?" The sigh that follows...
The world needs more David Attenborough's. A true gentleman and wonderful narrator. He started my love of creatures of the world, not just my backyard.
The Gorilla Mama was saying to the kids " This man is going to speak for us for years to come. Make friends with him." :)
What a legend. We all should listen to him and take action
His voice has so much common sense in it and also so much wisdom the world and us here in america better listen now. Thanks 60min for featuring him on your show! Great job!
I've grown up with his nature shows, but our family always drops everything to see
these episodes of anything he has documented.
95 years and still going as if he was 20 years old! What an amazing guy!
What an absolute stud at 94! He is totally right we do need the natural world for our very sanity. During the pandemic when I was cooped up all day I started to weirdly feel wanting to go outside, hike, and take long walks. Being in nature helped my sanity and being depressed/down.
David Attenborough is a great human being, his love of the natural world and its many species. Look at the reception he gets from all of the young people at Britain's big music concert when he appears, he is beloved. He's right in saying that human beings have taken over the world, what a contrast with how much nature was present when he started doing these films when he was 28.
Life on our planet (and all the others he made) is a must-see. Long live, the legend David Attenborough! 💕
I usually don't get bothered when someone famous dies, but I will cry when this man does. I almost hope that i would go before him.
If we only listened to this amazing man and feel his beautiful honest heart to save our natural world!!
Everything in life is connected.
"For every mouthful of food and for every lungful of air we depend of Mother Nature"..... just beautiful
"A life on our planet" is stunning and so disturbing. What a genius Sir David continues be demonstrate himself to be.
This needs more views. Everyone needs to hear what this amazing man has to say about preserving and SAVING the natural world.
Can you imagine if Sir David Attenborough was your grandpa? Oh the stories you'd hear!
I whole heartedly get the feeling I'm listening to the voice of God through a mortal man, albeit a man who is anything but mere mortal.
I hope we get another decade out of this man. He has done so much to educate and inspire generations. Lets hope he can speak truth to another.
How many people will pay attention to what he is saying in the next ten years: how many of us are listening to him today?
That gorilla mama was saying you watch them now, I need a leaf break.
My heart aches at the thought of this man becoming extinct. The worlds greatest educator and advocate of all things living. I emulate this hero in as much as I can. Respecting all life and being humbled by my place in it.
Said my words. Thank you
Now that man is a man who has lived a life he can be proud of - Sir David has shared so much and taught us so much over decades - He has shown us the wonders of nature- the world and our children will continue to benefit from the lifework of this amazing man- thank you
I could listen to sir David Attenborough talk about the natural world endlessly....even when can't sleep I'd put it on to sooth the brain
David attenborough is a great man, but a man none the less, please listen, take notes , and change our behavior. Don't let his last documentary be in vein
He's an icon. He has shown me the most beautiful creatures of our planet! He's show is inspirational and unique. Love you Mr attenborow! You're the greatest?
A true icon and an international hero. Thank you Sir David for all you've done for us.

A voice you could listen to 24/7 with sheer enthusiasm, A national treasure
It's always a pleasure to watch him talk. Keep inspiring us Sir David for years to come.
What he say makes me cry because it's all true. I've witnessed this (been aware of it) for the past 50 years. Sad that a lot of people just don't understand or care.
At nearing the same age, and a friend of our awesome natural world, I, too, have seen a lot of change in my 8 decades, and can attest both to the wonder and the warnings of this prophet!!!
Sir David Attenborough should never be allowed to die. If we could select one of us to live as long as they wanted to, with a good functioning body, it should be him! He will surely be missed horribly.
I still watch his old stuff today, I watch it almost every day and was watching it today.
indeed!!! 👍
I study the biology of aging. If we find anything useful, he’ll be the first to know :) Republicans can do without I think

Sir David, the world is a better place because of you. Your films should be required viewing by schools worldwide, from K through 12th grade. I have listened to and greatly admired you, your work, your ethics, and your love of nature for most of my life. Thank you for your contributions and your endeavors to make the people of this world more aware of the environment and it's much needed conservation. Thank you and God bless you.
the most sensible human on tv ❤️ he should be awarded nobel prize for just being him ❤️❤️
My undisputed all time hero.
I would do anything to meet and spend a good deal of time with him. Love you Sir David!!
I love him, and his compassion and knowledge for the natural world has inspired me to be more aware and kinder.
Us Brits absolutely treasure Sir David. And we should listen to him regarding climate change. But not enough of us seem to care unfortunately.
His enthusiasm is the manifestation of his love.
Ah the way he speaks, and anybody blind folded played his voice would recognise it for sure.
Great to see such an educated, very accomplished and reasonable man aging nicely with an always sharp mind.
Sir Attenborough too
I had to watch this video for a 6th grade school project about mass extinction and I am so happy I watched it.
David Attenborough is one of the great men of our time. Trying to save mother earth
I have been crying since 2018, and there is no end to it. We have destroyed our home beyond repair. Where are we going to go? People please we don't have time. Let's fight to change it.
"...We have destroyed our home beyond repair...."
This is the nonsense which you've been taught; and one day, you'll understand how much the world has been abused - deliberately - by people who want to change the democratic system; and convert everyone into into a communist system, where no-one is able to reach her/his full potential - and only the few at the top - become wealthy at the expense of _everyone else_...
We owe everything to Sir David Attenborough. He has shown us the light for so many years, and yes it is that simple. But we have become too disconnected from humanity that we as individuals are unable to make the difference.
Mr Sir David Attenborough, whilst we may not have you for much longer. We want you to know that you touched peoples hearts and we were reminded of what humanity truely is.
Stay healthy, stay together and may humanity finally understand that we need to connect.
He is the only man in the world who deserves to live forever
He and my Son, Eric

Greatest living human. I would give my life to extend his.
I hope he is right when he says it's yet not too late for "redemption"... many scientists believe we have already past the "tipping point".

We passed the 'tipping point' a few years ago. Now it's damage limitation, and how much we can slow it down.
