Sir David Attenborough has said it is ‘too late’ to reverse climate change and warned of mass civil unrest if steps aren’t taken to address the crisis.
Jon Snow told the legendary environmentalist an 11-year-old had written in to ask what the worst thing to happen in his life would be ‘if we don’t tackle climate change’.
Sir David replied: ‘I think civil unrest on a great scale, and mass migration on a great scale.
‘I think we will go on finding enough food, though it may not be precisely the choice that we would take freely.’.
Asked if it was ‘too late to reverse climate change’, he said: ‘It’s too late to reverse it.
I think the best that we can hope is that we will slow it down, and slow it down considerably.’.
